This episode discusses the brain's alarm system - the Fight, Flight, and Freeze response. We also cover what's going on in the brain when we've "flipped our lid." This is a great episode to learn about your own brain, but also to build some language and visuals for how to teach children about their own Fight, Flight, and Freeze responses. Lastly, we talk about how the experience of trauma impacts the brain's alarm system and what that might look like in the long-term. Enjoy!
