Parts and trauma responses

• Card 1

  Survival responses and protective parts describe overlapping ground from different angles. One is about what the nervous system does; the other is about the inner role that grew around it.

• Card 2

  Loose overlaps some people notice

  • Fight — protectors who confront, criticise or push back first
  • Flight — protectors who keep busy, plan, achieve, or leave early
  • Freeze — protectors who go still, blank or quiet until it passes
  • Fawn — protectors who accommodate, soothe and keep others comfortable

  These are patterns to explore, not categories to be placed in. Most people recognise several, in different relationships and at different times.
