Trauma Responses - Fight, Flight, Freeze or Fawn

Trauma can shake us to our core, triggering overwhelming emotions and survival instincts that are difficult to manage. Whether from abuse, neglect, accidents or other distressing experiences, trauma takes a real toll.

It's okay if you're not okay. Healing from trauma takes time, and the road is rarely smooth. The feelings of being emotionally flooded or detached, aggressive or withdrawn - these are all normal reactions.

But the good news is, you don't have to walk this path alone. If you're between 11-25, Base 51 offers confidential counselling to help make sense of trauma and start the healing process. With non-judgmental support guiding you, there is hope ahead.
