In this Chapter, Brian chronicles the arduous and emotionally challenging process of healing from trauma. He recounts his realization that his conditioned freeze and fawn responses to perceived threats, stemming from childhood experiences with his parents and an abusive friend, were hindering his ability to respond adaptively to interpersonal stressors. Recognizing and naming these trauma responses, understanding his triggers, and learning to sit with and interpret emotions have been crucial steps in his journey. By developing awareness and practicing healthier emotional responses, Brian has gained more control over his emotions and interactions, allowing for a more authentic and empathetic engagement with others.
