[quote=Anonymous]Of all the possible trauma responses —fight, flight, or freeze— I freeze. I find that I do whatever it takes to stop the workplace conflict, which often means over-promising and subsequently underdelivering. Because I am so “nice,” people sense that they can be pushy, rude, even abusive without any pushback from me. I’m working on learning responses that will help like “Let’s talk again when we’re both feeling calmer,” or “Can you give me some time to think about good solutions” (because I know I don’t think clearly in my frozen state).[/quote]
