Ever feel hijacked by your emotions, stuck in a spiral, or like your body is reacting before you can think? That’s your nervous system trying to protect you — even when the threat is long gone. In this episode, I break down the four main trauma responses: fight, flight, freeze, and fawn. You’ll learn how they show up in real life, what emotional flashbacks actually feel like, and how to gently guide yourself back to safety using somatic tools and self-awareness.

This isn’t about pushing through or numbing out. It’s about creating a deeper sense of calm, power, and presence — in your own body.

💡 Topics covered:

• What emotional flashbacks are (and how long they last)

• How to recognize each trauma response

• Somatic tools to regulate and return to center

• Why calm ≠ repression

• How to expand your window of tolerance

🎧 Listen with care, take what resonates, and maybe… go scream into a pillow after. I’ll explain why.
