Episode 26: Understanding the Flight Response to Trauma
Hello and welcome back to the Cycle Breaker and Change Maker podcast. If you’ve been following along, you know that we are diving deep into the Five F’s of Trauma Response. Last time, we explored the Fight response—what it looks like, why it develops, and how to manage it. Today, we’re moving on to the second response: Flight.
The flight response is often associated with running away from danger, but it’s not just about physically escaping. It’s also about mentally escaping, avoiding discomfort, and staying perpetually busy to outrun feelings of anxiety or past trauma. If you find yourself constantly on the go, avoiding confrontation, or struggling with stillness, this episode is for you.
Let’s break down what the flight response really is, how it manifests in daily life, and most importantly, how we can learn to work with it instead of being ruled by it.
What is the Flight Response?
The flight response is a survival instinct that activates when the brain perceives danger and determines that escape is the best option. This response is designed to keep us safe, but when trauma is involved, it can become overactive, making us feel like we constantly need to be moving, planning, or avoiding.
Flight isn’t just about physically running away. It can also mean running from emotions, responsibilities, or relationships. It can be an urge to stay distracted, overcommit, or constantly be in motion to avoid discomfort.
