Your "Flight Response" Started as a Survival Strategy But Today It's Hurting Your Life

Emotional Triggers & Trauma Responses
Written By Kerri McKenna Reece

That anxious urge to flee—from conflict, from discomfort, from yourself—isn’t weakness. It’s a survival strategy your nervous system learned long ago. But when flight becomes your default, it can quietly shape a life of avoidance, fear, and disconnection. In this video, we’ll explore how the flight response once kept you safe—but may now be keeping you stuck. And most importantly, how you can begin to shift it. This isn’t about forcing bravery. It’s about learning to feel safe enough to stay.
