The fight, flight, freeze response is our body’s natural response to danger and threats. It’s stress response that kicks in to keep us safe - a survival mechanism. Sometimes, it’s hard to turn off and stops you from doing all the usual things you enjoy. So, in this video I’m going to explain what the fight, flight, freeze response is and what happens in the brain. You’ll also learn what you can do to take back control and calm things down.
Recognising the signs of your fight, flight, freeze response helps you respond and take control and better manage ongoing stress, worry and even anxiety in difficult situations and daily life.
In my forthcoming videos, I’ll be sharing strategies and techniques that can help you calm down and switch off the fight, flight, freeze response.

I was a police officer for over 30 years and retired ill health with PTSD. For many years I would have an active fight / flight response for the entire shift while at work. And hypervigilance. Unfortunately it takes very little to set off my fight / flight response now and along with that, rumination and anxiety. I am finding some help and relief in your videos.

Thank you for explaining this in plain english. I have a really strange and specific question for you if you don't mind. I lose my mind when it rains. This is the result of two traumas, both occurred outdoors during rain. I was trapped under a wooden roof after it was blown over and fell on me in 2003, and I was a pedestrian hit by a car in 2014 (so I deal with chronic pain too). It's definitely fight flight freeze, more flight and freeze and panic. Here's the tricky part. I'm usually indoors, and I hear myself telling my brain that I'm safe. Nothing slows down. I do everything that I know to do, and nothing turns that response off until it's over. It's completely automatic. I have no control over it, and I know that because I've been trying to control it for 20 years now. It only affects me when it rains or I get a weather alert of incoming rain. I don't like the fact that my brain is always looking for trouble. Trying to flip that is proving very difficult.

Thanks for watching and sharing how this affects you. Our brains are so powerful aren't they when it comes to keeping us safe when it perceives threats around us, even when we know there is nothing to fear. I often see this when helping my clients overcome specific fears and phobias.

@bellafarfalla7268 Год назад

The brain works in strange ways. One part is always looking for trouble as a way to keep us safe, and one part is always looking for solutions like it was designed to do. Unfortunately, the part that's looking for trouble seems to be in overdrive lately. I'm trying to find any positive possible to override that. I don't know how to even start to address this goofy rain thing.
