Fight, Flight, Freeze, Fawn? Conquer The Sympathetic Nervous System in Abusive Relationships

We discuss the Sympathetic Nervous System and its role in abusive relationships. Explore the concept of 'fawning' as a survival response, deeply entwined with fear and desperation, often seen in people subjected to mistreatment. Uncover the impact of past trauma and how it normalizes dysfunctional interactions, leading to repeating cycles of shame and regret. Gain insights on why victims repeatedly leave and return, illustrating the fight or flight response. Join us in a quest to break these harmful cycles and move towards self-respect, reclaiming our mental and emotional wellbeing.

If you're struggling in an abusive relationship, it can feel like you're caught in a cycle of Fight Flight Freeze Fawn. But there is a way out, and it starts with understanding your sympathetic nervous system.
