Being honest with yourself

According to psychologist Cannon, fight, flight, fawn and freeze are ‘unconscious and automatic series of fast-acting reactions occurred inside the body to help assemble resources the body needs to manage threatening circumstances’*. In this podcast I discuss the ways in which these responses can hinder us and different ways you can learn to navigate around them in order to have more harmonious relationships. I also speak about how these responses typically enable us to continue bad patterns or toxic habits just because it’s what’s familiar and what we know, but how this can be detrimental to the people around us if we are unable to look beyond the story our brain is telling us or view things from another perspective. I am not a psychologist. *https://www.simplypsychology.org/fight-flight-freeze-fawn.html#:~:text=Fight%3A%20facing%20any%20perceived%20threat,please%20to%20avoid%20any%20conflict.Send me a MessageSupport the show
