Emotional Responses to Trauma

CastielIsPerfect August 24th, 2017

I heard that there are four reponses to trauma. Tell me what you think/if you have felt any of these.

1. Fight- feeling angry. feeling the urge to fight others. Being more impulsive and sarcastic.

2. Flight- feeling like you have to run away. Being antsy. hyperactive and restless behavior

3. Freeze- feeling frozen, not feeling anything really intense, acting like a robot

4. Faint- not being connected to reality, sleeping much more, not talking or listening ver much, unable to move

Have any of you experienced these feelings? Which one/s?
