Our perception of threat and danger is unconscious and we don't choose our response. In this somatic mindfulness inquiry, we’re going beyond the obvious signs of being in a fight/ flight/ freeze/ fawn survival response in ourselves and others. Freeze is when we feel numb, disconnected, and hunkered down for safety. Sympathetic arousal includes fight - internal rants, inner criticism, or expressed outwardly and flight - escape physical, emotional, and mental.
