Fight or Flight trauma therapy refers to a therapeutic approach that addresses the physiological responses to stress and trauma, particularly the fight-or-flight response. This response is a natural instinct that prepares the body for immediate action in the face of perceived threats.
Fight Response: This involves confronting the threat, often leading to increased heart rate and alertness.
Flight Response: This involves avoiding the threat, resulting in a decrease in heart rate and a focus on safety.
Freeze Response: This involves immobilization in response to fear or danger.
Fawn Response: This involves submission to the threat, often leading to a loss of control.
Trauma therapy aims to help individuals manage these responses, especially when they become maladaptive or chronic, leading to conditions like PTSD. Techniques such as light therapy can be used to shift these responses back toward normalcy, allowing individuals to function more effectively and reduce stress.
