What is flight, freeze or fight?

The Flight Freeze or Fight response is an automatic reaction for survival.

When our brain feels there is a threat or anxiety, it will fill the body with adrenaline to prepare us for physical action to either:

  • Fight – to confront danger
  • Freeze – stay still
  • Flight – run away

If this occurs, try some of our calming techniques or heavy activities which will help calm the nervous system. This then tells our brain we are safe. 🧘‍♀️
