Adaptive Survival Strategies
Let’s talk about Complex PTSD, childhood trauma, and its effects.
The fight, flight, freeze, and fawn responses are known responses to trauma, and they are ways that the body responds to danger, overseen by the autonomic nervous system. When we grow up in an unsafe environment, we might overuse one of these responses to survive our toxic environment.
