In the second episode of Eggshells, Hannah and Lizzie dive into discussions about fight, flight and freeze. We find out:

  • what the terms "fight, flight and freeze" mean in this context

  • why we all adopt such behaviours in times of high stress

  • what the polyvegal theory is, and why Dan Siegel's explanation is a useful way to understand and manage our own autonomic stress responses
