Welcome to Session Five

The Alarm Response: Fight, Flight, Freeze and Piggy Belly Breathing

Lesson Objective

The goal of Session Five is to understand how our brain goes into an alarm response when there is danger or even perceived danger. We will define the fight, flight, and freeze response. The students will learn how to breath effectively with diaphragmatic breathing called “Piggy Belly Breathing” when the brain goes into this alarm response.
