When the Guard Dog decides there's danger, it picks one of a few automatic moves. Fight: you feel like arguing, snapping, standing your ground. Flight: every part of you wants to leave. Freeze: you go blank, can't move, can't speak. And there's a fourth one worth knowing: appease, where you go along with things and people-please your way to safety. None of these are choices, and none of them are character flaws. They're reflexes, older than language. Which one is your usual default? Tap it. Knowing your move is the first step to having a say in it.

These are all normal reactions. Your body is just trying to help, even if it's a bit overprotective.
