About this Artwork: Learning about fight, flight, fawn, and freeze can be helpful, but learning how these responses manifest in our particular bodies is where the magic really starts.

When we understand how fight, flight, freeze, or fawn show up for us, we can develop an internal template to refer back to in moments where we are feeling a lot of emotion (or beginning to shut down and feeling no emotion at all).

Like the Emotion Sensation Wheel, the Fight, Flight, & Freeze Embodied Wheel is a tool to prompt conversations and build awareness by showing how each of these responses *tends* to show up through physical sensations. It’s not prescriptive- it’s a conversation starter. It’s meant to teach, to stir, and to prompt conversations that build awareness, connection, and embodied experience through somatic awareness. 

Suggested Uses: Mental health professionals may find this tool especially helpful with clients as a tool specifically for helping them recognize when they are moving out of their window of tolerance (where we can listen, learn, and respond thoughtfully) and into a reaction state.
