Identifying trauma responses (pt 3)

There are multiple ways people can respond to perceived threats or danger. While these responses are biologically adaptive and good when real danger is present, they can poorly impact our functioning when these responses kick in during day to day situations and relationships.

Trauma alter our automatic responses, meaning normal life and social situations might cause someone to go into fight or flight when there is no real danger. Learning to recognize trauma responses can help us grow in our ability to interrupt these responses before they take over!
