Psychology - Fight, Flight, Freeze, and Fawn Survival Responses
Fight, flight and freeze are more direct in nature and easier to understand. With fight, you either face the threat head on or you choose to run away, which is flight, or you get too afraid to even move, which is freeze. Fawn, on the other hand, is a little more complex. We as humans have developed a way to sort of please the threat so as to diffuse it. For example, think of a bully trying to start a fight as a fault response

Hi. First of all, welcome on Swell, and I think you explained a really complex idea in very simple terms. I am not a student of psychology, but I had psychology in my class too, and I remember studying about freeze and fall, but I think the way you explained it, you literally explained the entire concept in a sentence, and that's really remarkable

Hi. Thank you so much for your kind words. This means a lot to me and encourages me to create more of these. English has always been my first love, and I absolutely loved reading through prose, poetry, Shakespeare, all of that during my school and junior college years. So I'm so grateful. Glad to have you here. Maybe we can connect on these topics

Hi isha welcome to swell. Thank you so much for educating us with this practical term. Definitely knew about this somewhere or the other, but as Aishani just mentioned, that, you know, it could sound very complex, but you kind of articulated this into one single sentence. So kudos to that for you, Esha. And I'm looking forward to learn more about psychology from you, as you are a psychologist yourself. And, yeah, happy connecting with you

Thank you. Esha sharing. Well done. Topic five slides and freeze. Those are some common responses that we've read and heard about in general, but not so much about fun. I for one person and bounce that I haven't heard about this topic on prior. So it was nice learning about it. Being a law student and a part time teacher, it is important for me to understand people and psychology to help me with that. So kudos to you
