What is your favoured mode of reacting? fight, flight, freeze or fawn?

[Gs172003]

Depends on why. Too much goes into it but if its a trigger I tend to freeze but if it's about somebody else I tend to fight. Does that make sense?

Freeze - In times of phisical danger ( car accidents or dating violent man)

Anger - when I sense emotional danger (usually my reaction will be not proportional to the situation). I also use anger as "don't mass with me" message.

Totally fight/flight.

Zero freeze/fawn.

 

[Teasel]

Mostly freeze & fawn. Occasionally flight.
I have felt a lot of shame over the fawn more than the others...

 

[Deadman]

Fight. Even when running would be the better option.

Just realised that I have a bunch of fawn:wideeyed:

 

[gealach]

For myself: freeze-fawn-flight-fight in that order

For others: fight-fight-fight-fight

I won't fight for myself (that was très dangereux as a kid) but will instantly go to war for someone else. :banghead::bag:

For me, it's freeze, then flight. If flight is not possible, I fight, for the opening to flee.

These days it's flight, used to be freeze

 

[Deleted member 41588]

I'm almost completely flight. If someone in someway makes me feel threatened though I go into a combo of fight and flight where I'm really nervous and just wanna punch them and run away.

 

[Teasel]

Mostly freeze & fawn. Occasionally flight.

Freeze is still a pretty huge problem but fawn is reducing and there is the beginning of being able to access the fight response :tup::stop::)

Fight And flight...

I get quite aggressive...
