This acrylic disk helps visualize nervous system responses — fight, flight, freeze, and other survival states — to support self-awareness and regulation. It’s ideal for trauma-informed therapy, nervous system education, and body-based work.
Created by therapist and illustrator Lindsay Braman, LMHCA, this wheel maps out key defensive states with body-based descriptions and cues so users can recognize when they’re dysregulated and choose supportive coping skills. A clear, research-grounded way to introduce polyvagal and somatic regulation concepts.
TRAUMA-INFORMED: Visualizes fight, flight, freeze, and related survival states for easy nervous system education.
THERAPIST-CREATED: Designed by Lindsay Braman for use with clients learning regulation and safety.
BODY-BASED CUES: Helps users identify internal signals to respond with grounding or coping strategies.
