Episode notes

Before you can tell freeze, fawn, and flat

apart, you have to understand the system they all run on. This opening episode is

about the nervous system you actually have - not the neurotypical one the world

assumes. We look at how the autonomic nervous system sets your baseline before you

even wake up, how sensory, interoception, and executive-function differences shape

your capacity to regulate, and why the gap between "coping" and "collapsed" can be

narrower than anyone realizes. This is the ground everything else stands on.
