What If Your Trauma Response is Holding You Back?

What If Your Trauma Response is Holding You Back?

What If Your Trauma Response is Holding You Back? — In this video, Philippa Smethurst explores the fascinating survival mechanism of “feigning death” when faced with severe threats.

Drawing parallels between the animal kingdom and human behaviour, we examine how a gazelle might feign death to avoid predators like lions—a tactic that applies to humans during extreme stress.

Discover how fight, flight, freeze, and feign responses are evolved survival mechanisms, and explore their psychological implications in modern-day crises.

Tune in to understand how these instincts might affect your behaviour and hold you back in everyday life. Stay connected for more insights into survival psychology and human behaviour!
