💜 fight 💜 flight 💜 freeze 💜 fawn 💜 flop 💜

Every protective response tells a story.
Fight. Flight. Freeze. Flop. Fawn.
On the surface, they look like behaviours.
Underneath, they’re the child’s nervous system saying, “This is what I need to feel safe right now.”

This post steps inside each response and gives voice to what a young person might be feeling but can’t always say out loud. It’s a powerful way for adults to understand the why behind the behaviour — and to meet the need instead of managing the symptom.

💜 let’s understand hyperlexia 💜

Our What Is… Series continues, and today we’re looking at Hyperlexia — an extraordinary but often misunderstood reading profile that many families have been asking about.

Due to the huge popularity, comments, and conversations around this series, we will now be producing one-page Bite Size Information Sheets for parents and caregivers to accompany each visual. These will offer clear, accessible, brain-based explanations you can save, share, and use at home or in settings.

Links to the Dropbox folder will be forwarded via DM.
To receive yours, please comment HYPERLEXIA below.

Over the coming days, we’ll also be resharing the previous posts from this series so that you have the opportunity to access the new Bite Size sheets for each topic.

Thank you for the incredible engagement so far — your comments, shares, and saves are shaping the resources we create next.

💚 healing, growth and a deeper felt of belonging is built through lived experiences of rupture and repair 💚

Every couple faces moments of emotional distance, misunderstanding, or hurt. These moments, called ruptures, are part of every close relationship.

A healthy relationship depends on how two people come back together after those ruptures.

When partners repair successfully, trust grows. They feel seen, valued, and emotionally safe again. Each repair becomes a bonding experience that strengthens the relationship over time.

When repair fails, mistrust builds. Partners begin to feel alone in their pain, and the emotional distance widens. The real goal is to turn back toward each other, to rebuild connection and safety after disconnection.

💚 understanding attachment 💚

People with avoidant attachment often pride themselves on being “self-sufficient.” They handle their emotions privately, avoid conflict, and rarely ask for help. But what looks like calm control is often a way to stay safe from vulnerability and rejection.
Avoidant attachment becomes too independent when someone holds in sadness, fear, or insecurity, managing everything alone and expecting their partner to do the same. It’s not independence; it’s isolation.
Healthy independence, on the other hand, means knowing when to self-soothe and when to lean on a partner for co-regulation. It means being able to take space to process while staying emotionally connected, and recognizing that mutual support doesn’t threaten autonomy, it strengthens it.
