The Different Types of Trauma Responses
A trauma response is an internal experience of our nervous system being activated. Fight and flight are happening at a level where the stress, let's say it's from a level of like one to five out of ten. When the levels get a little bit deeper, meaning that there is higher levels of stress, we enter into the other side of the nervous system shutdown - freeze. And so we basically like dissociate. We're not able to engage. There is no way to either flee or fight. We just don't have the energy. fun is when we literally cannot even be present.
