The Dr. Leaf Show Why You Panic, Please, or Shut Down: The 6 Stress Languages Explained
What’s your stress language—and how is it secretly shaping your thoughts, reactions, and health? In this transformative episode of The Dr. Leaf Show, Dr. Caroline Leaf breaks down the six main “stress languages”—the hidden emotional patterns that kick in when life gets overwhelming: the Fighter, Freezer, Fixer, Fleer, Suppressor, and Pleaser.
Unlike love languages, stress languages reveal how your brain and body respond to pressure, conflict, and fear. Are you shutting down? Fixing everyone’s problems but your own? Or smiling while silently screaming inside?
Dr. Leaf explains the neuroscience behind stress, how to tell the difference between positive and toxic stress, and how to retrain your brain using the proven 5-step Neurocycle method. You’ll walk away with powerful insights and practical tools to decode your own stress responses—and reclaim peace and clarity in the middle of chaos.
