Body signals to notice

• Card 1

  Trauma responses are physical before they're psychological. Learning to notice the body signals early can create a small window to respond differently, rather than being swept along automatically.

• Card 2

  Common signals

  • Fight: jaw or fist clenching, heat in the chest or face, a fast heartbeat
  • Flight: restlessness, an urge to move, shallow or quick breathing
  • Freeze: heaviness, cold hands, a sense of the body 'switching off'
  • Fawn: a knot in the stomach, a tight smile, rapid nodding or agreeing
