Your F Type + The Clutter It Creates | Part 1

For many years I heard about being in fight or flight mode or being triggered and brought outside of my nervous system window. I learned that there are more than those two states we can go into when we perceive that we are unsafe. These states are now known as “f types”: fight, flight, freeze, and fawn. These f types play a role in how we think, feel, behave and what we believe. Most of us have a dominant f type, or a preferred way to react when we think we are in danger. But depending on the context of a situation you may cycle through all of the f types before returning to ventral vagal (the ideal state for your nervous system). When experiencing a “f type” we cannot think clearly or act from a place of consciousness.
