Fight, Flight or Freeze• Normal reaction to a threat (stress) is to fight it or
run away. Either is a way of controlling it
– Adrenaline mobilises the “Fight or flight” reaction
• When fight or flight a third option is possible – freeze.
– Acetylcholine produces relaxation
– In the presence of sympathetic arousal it produces dissociation – the “Freeze” reaction – like an animal playing dead
• Dissociation (“It’s not happening to me”) lies behind many adjustment disorders and ‘stuck’ states – see below.
– It doesn’t take control of the threat; just protects bodily functions while it’s happening

Life scriptsfrom Body Psychotherapy and Transactional
Analysis.‘Stories’ we tell ourselves about life, gathered from early
experience. Different life scripts come from different types of deprivation in infancy
• LIFE MEANS NOTHING/IS IMPOSSIBLE UNLESS…
– “I am in control” – Schizoid type: Others’ control means death– “I please people” – Oral type – endlessly seeks (never finds) love– “I and s/he are in love” – Symbiotic type – Endlessly imagines love– “I am loved and adored” – Narcissistic type – needs fame/adoration– “I do it all myself” – Masochistic type – Help equals humiliation– “I am stimulated and excited” – Thrill-seeker: Ordinary equals
boring/alone– “I am a success” – Rigid type: Failure equals failure for all time– “I win” - Psychopathic type: And others fail!
