So let me go through each of these four and see if you can resonate with any of them, because a lot of us think of trauma responses really as if we are being attacked or we were in the war zone or we were in that car accident.
Ever felt like you're stuck in a cycle of reactions you can't control? Caroline Strawson is here to shed light on the four trauma responses that often follow narcissistic abuse. In this episode of 'The Narcissistic Abuse & Trauma Recovery Podcast', Caroline dives deep into fight, flight, freeze, and the lesser-known fawn response. These reactions are more than just words; they’re survival mechanisms our brains kick into gear when we sense danger.
Caroline breaks down what happens in our minds when we face threats and how each trauma response manifests. For instance, the fight response often masks itself as anger, while flight can look a lot like anxiety. Freeze might feel like depression or being stuck in survival mode, and fawn, often overlooked, involves appeasing behaviors typical in narcissistic abuse situations. By tuning in, you'll gain a better understanding of your own behaviors and how to manage them.
Caroline offers practical tools and insights to help you recognize these responses in yourself and take steps toward healing. This episode isn't just about identifying trauma responses; it's about empowering you to reclaim control over your life. So, if you've been through the wringer with a narcissist and are looking for ways to move forward, this episode is a must-listen. Caroline's compassionate guidance could be the key to unlocking a healthier, more resilient you.
