All of these things happen to some people sexually speaking: “One widely recognized model of trauma responses is the 4 F's, which stands for Fight, Flight, Freeze, and Fawn. Each of these responses has unique characteristics and manifestations. Fight Trauma Response The Fight response involves intense anger, rage, bullying, and intimidation. When we experience a traumatic event, our bodies may respond by becoming angry and aggressive as a way to protect ourselves. We may feel a strong urge to fight back and defend ourselves from the perceived threat. Flight Trauma Response The Flight response manifests as panic, worry, rumination, and perfectionism. This response is characterized by a need to escape the perceived threat. We may become hyper-vigilant and constantly on edge, always looking for a way out of the situation. We may also ruminate on the traumatic event, obsessively thinking about what happened and what could have been done differently. Freeze Trauma Response The Freeze response is characterized by dissociation, feeling numb, and being stuck. When we experience trauma, our bodies may shut down as a way to protect ourselves. We may feel disconnected from our emotions, and our bodies may become numb. We may also feel stuck, unable to move or take action. Fawn Trauma Response The Fawn response entails identity confusion, having no boundaries, codependency, and being a people pleaser. This response involves a need to appease the perceived threat, often at the expense of our own needs and well-being. We may feel confused about our identity and our boundaries, and we may become overly dependent on others for validation and approval. Understanding our trauma responses can help us recognize when we are experiencing a trigger or an overwhelming situation. It allows us to identify our reactions and choose how we want to respond consciously. We can also learn ways to manage our reactions and move towards healing and recovery.” --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/antonio-myers4/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/antonio-myers4/support
