How do our bodies react when faced with trauma? In this episode of 'Christian Emotional Recovery', host Rachel Leroy takes listeners on a journey through the four primary trauma responses: fight, flight, freeze, and fawn. These reactions are our body's way of coping with extreme stress and danger, but they can become problematic when they persist long after the traumatic event has passed.

With her expertise, she breaks down each response, helping listeners identify their own patterns and understand the roots of their reactions. Rachel also shares practical strategies for healing these responses at their core, blending scientific insights with faith-based practices.
