I will try to forgive myself for bad decisions I made from flight reactions.

Thanks Betsy, it was definitely delightful, nd helpful

[dr.sokheytan]

I have come along with many the situation of Fight and Flight or free, but mostly not the freeze
the main thing that we have met were to resist to the situation of fierce and keep to get rid of danger

There's a 4th option I've experienced..

What I'm trying to find an answer to is what to do when the fight/ flight/ freeze response happens in non-threatening situations, every single day (with no underlying trauma). I've always had this response with public speaking (like a lot of people), but for a few years now it ambushes me in other situations, like normal conversations, telling stories or jokes to friends, appointments, interviews, any confrontational situation, phone calls, and lately (thanks to Covid) video calls. I control it with beta blockers, but that's becoming less and less effective. I've never been able to calm it with breathing exercises. It's seriously affecting my ability to do my job, and I need to address it. I just don't know how.

Mine is emotional abuse for 48 years. Now I need to heal.

Is there a 4th option? Freeze? You can 1. fight against the waves, 2. swim away, 3. let the waves knock you out, or 4. float and let the waves carry you wherever the current goes.
