In this third episode of a five part series, our cohosts talk about how the mind, body, and soul react to stress, trauma, and abuse. Looking at the nervous system, we discuss why we react the way we do and what it means. Today we look at the fight, flight, and freeze response. In this episode you will learn how to identify when your nervous system is dysregulated, and what and how it happens.
