(#89) Expanding Your Window of Tolerance and Understanding Fight, Flight, Freeze & Fawn for Nervous System Healing
Description
Have you ever wondered why you freeze in conflict… overwork to avoid discomfort… or find yourself people-pleasing to keep the peace? You’re not broken. You’re likely outside your window of tolerance, operating from an old trauma response.
In this episode, we explore:
🌱 What the Window of Tolerance is and how it impacts your emotions, behavior, and relationships
🌱 The Fight Response: signs, root causes, and how to soften into safety
🌱 The Flight Response: anxiety, busyness, avoidance & how to regulate it
🌱 The Freeze Response: shutdown, indecision & why it’s not laziness
🌱 The Fawn Response: people-pleasing, over-apologizing & how to reclaim your truth
🌱 How to expand your Window of Tolerance over time with somatic tools
You'll also receive simple, grounded practices to support nervous system regulation.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone ready to better understand their inner world and build resilience from the body up. Whether you’re anxious, overwhelmed, or navigating stress and emotion, this one is for you.
