Welcome to the Flourishing With PTSD podcast - a podcast designed to help normalize conversations around mental health, specifically in the context of PTSD, also known as Posttraumatic Stress Disorder. I am not a medical professional or a therapist. I am, however, a trauma survivor who is here to share the highs, the lows, and everything in between that comes with living and healing from PTSD. Over the course of the podcast, you hear the three year journey from rock bottom to the highest point… it is proof that healing is possible. If I can do it, you can too!

Many of us our familiar with the two famous trauma responses: Fight or Flight. Others are familiar with the three famous responses: Fight, Flight, or Freeze. We call these the Three Fs. Did you know there is a fourth response that can occur in the face of trauma? We call this the Fawn response. Some of you may know it as Feign… join me as I dissect this fourth response, what it looks like, where it came from, and some linguistic changes that may assist with dismantling the stigma around this response with the assistance of the article written by Cathie Malchiodi PhD, LPCC, LPAT, ATR-BC, REAT. https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/arts-and-health/202106/understanding-fight-flight-freeze-and-the-feign-response
