Trauma Responses: Understanding The Flight Response
Q: Can you explain how flight relates to avoiding difficult conversations?

Yes, it shifted significantly; I became more passionate about motherhood and what I share, focusing on the impact of my content.

It can protect you, but being in an unsafe relationship may require getting support and finding safe people to talk to.

Q: What is the survival mechanism behind freezing?
The freeze response is a nervous system state where the body hits survival breaks, causing a shutdown.
