Let's dive into coping mechanisms. Fight and flight are commonly known but there is freeze mechanism people rarely talk about.

In freeze mechanisms person may experience shutting down in difficult situations and not being able to retaliate. They end up blaming themselves for this involuntary reflex. I searched and drafted few hacks so I am sharing.

1. Know your fear and triggers.
2. Identify the situation or person which causes it.
3. Know this person you are fearing feeds off on your fear
4. Know this fear is like an invisible lion. We dont want to face it because our nervous system is shaky plus harmonies foolery makes it more meh situation.
5. Feeling is real but it doesnt have to be true. When you know something isnt true you can automatically get strength to face it.
6. Practice relaxing and grounding techniques so that your system is used to it
7. When you face situation retaliate it. It's okay if you can just say no atleast condemn. Trying is key.
8. Next up is be gentle with yourself and reach out to support circle.

It's not your fault. You are loved
