Are you a fighter, a runner, someone who freezes — or do you find yourself endlessly trying to keep everyone happy? In this episode, holistic psychotherapist Sylvia Plester-Silk walks you through the four fear responses: fight, flight, freeze, and appease, and helps you figure out which one is running the show in your life.
You'll discover how these ancient survival instincts get triggered in modern, everyday situations, what they feel like in your body, and — most importantly — what you can do about them. Sylvia shares a calming breath work practice and journaling prompts you can use right away to start shifting from reactive to responsive.
⏱ All in under 10 minutes.
