The Alternative Threat Response

Psychologists talk about this alternative threat response that psychologists talk about, which is known as tend and befriend. And i think there's really interesting examples of campaigning and change making which draw very carefully on that playbook. A good example is the recent australian election, where scott morrison's populous government was trying its very hardest to bat its political opponents. Culture wars on issues likeand trans rights, o refugee rights in imigration, really tran a kind of create that fight flight free sense.
