info_outlineEmotional processing is essential for humans, but our society doesn't value or provide time for it. This is why when you finally have some space, like on a vacation perhaps, you may get hit with a trauma response seemingly out of nowhere. Just like it did for me on my recent trip to Paris. I’m not just talking about the ones we all know, fight, flight, and freeze. There are three more “F”s that belong to that system! Today I want to share with you the DENT(Dynamic Experiential Narrative Theory) model of trauma.
Let’s discuss:
🔹Your body’s different responses to trauma, stress, and anxiety, including flight, fight, freeze, fawn, flood, and fatigue.
🔹How somatic or embodied yoga practices can be helpful for emotional processing and regulation.
🔹Why listening to your body and practicing self-care is crucial for maintaining balance and well-being.
