Fight, flight, freeze, fawn aren’t choices, they’re survival responses.
We don't consciously choose how we respond.
These instincts are automatic survival responses wired into our brains. Understanding this can help us be kinder to ourselves when coping with trauma.

For me , happiness is a practice ❤️Happiness as a choice doesn’t mean you force yourself to be cheerful.🩷 feelings a real . And ..

It means I can choose:
• where to place my attention,
• how to respond to what life brings,
• what stories I tell myself,
• what energy I cultivate,
• and who I allow close.

It’s not a mood.
It’s a practice.

It’s choosing:
• regulation over reaction
• gratitude over spiraling
• alignment over people-pleasing
• honesty over tension
• rest over resentment
• connection over avoidance
• intention over autopilot🩷

Fawning is a hybrid response, activating the sympathetic (hyperarousal) and parasympathetic (hypoarousal) branches of the autonomic nervous system at the same time.

• The hyperarousal aspect of fawning has us instinctively managing the moods and states of those “in charge.” We lean into the very relationships that are causing us harm, appeasing our perpetrators while taking personal responsibility for all relational difficulties. Fawning can be incredibly active.

• But at the same time, we are detaching from ourselves. The hypoarousal of fawning numbs our connection to self, our broader sense of agency, and often, our ability to feel the effects of the abuse at all.

We are threading a fine needle when we fawn, neither risking greater harm through fight or flight, nor shutting down completely. This highly adaptive response is moving beyond playing dead to playing LIFE. We are playing pretend, and we don’t even know it. We are playing house, playing the game (to survive or escape our situation), playing a part—sometimes as many parts as there are people in our lives.
