The 4F Trauma Responses
The four primary survival strategies the nervous system uses when faced with a perceived threat: Fight, Flight, Freeze, and Fawn.
Identified heavily in the work of Pete Walker (CPTSD), the 4F responses are automatic physiological reactions to trauma. Children of emotionally immature parents often get "stuck" in one or two of these responses because their childhood environment required constant vigilance.
