How to Calm the F Down
Episode 166
Wednesday, 3 December, 2025
How to Calm the F Down (Fight, Flight, Freeze & Fawn) In this candid and neuroscience-backed episode, Teri breaks down how to "Calm the F Down" by understanding the four core nervous system states—fight, flight, freeze, and fawn—and how they influence behavior, urges, and emotional patterns in alcohol-free living. Drawing on her recent trauma-informed nervous system certification, she reveals how alcohol numbs dysregulation, why early AF life can feel overwhelming, and how simple body-based tools help restore safety, self-trust, and emotional clarity. Listeners will walk away with a deeper understanding of their own patterns, why their nervous system reacts the way it does, and how to begin regulating from the inside out. This is essential listening for anyone wanting to move from hypervigilance, shutdown, or people-pleasing into grounded, confident alcohol-free living. If you've ever said, "I don't know what happened—I just found myself drinking," this episode is for you! Shownotes HERE
