Understanding stress responses
In situations that feel threatening or overwhelming, the nervous system may respond in different ways. Commonly discussed descriptions include fight, flight and freeze; fawn is sometimes used to describe appeasing behaviour under stress. These are broad patterns, not fixed personality types or clinical diagnoses.
Fight
Moving toward a perceived threat through anger, confrontation or assertiveness.
Flight
Moving away, avoiding or staying busy to escape discomfort.
Freeze
Feeling stuck, unable to act or temporarily disconnected.
Fawn
Trying to reduce conflict by prioritizing another person’s needs or approval.
People may experience more than one response, and these reactions can arise for many reasons. Behaviour alone cannot establish that a person has experienced trauma.
