Fight, flight, freeze, fawn—we’ve all heard the terms, but what do they actually mean in your everyday life and relationships? In this episode of REDHEADREVEAL®, we’re unpacking trauma responses: where they come from, how they show up, and why your nervous system responds the way it does when you're triggered. We explore how childhood experiences shape your patterns of protection, why self-blame runs deep, and what healing can look like when you begin to respond rather than react. You didn’t choose the pain, but you can choose how you move forward.
