Added: 2026-05-28

[00:00:00]So, what do you do when you know you're in a fight state?

[00:00:04]Don't try to calm down.

[00:00:06]That never really works because your nervous system is braced for a threat.

[00:00:09]Instead, give it something to do with all that energy. Name what you're feeling out loud. Shake out your hands. Press your feet into the floor and breathe out longer than you inhale.

[00:00:23]You're not suppressing the fight response. You're completing it. You're telling your nervous system the threat has passed.

[00:00:30]And then, when your prefrontal comes back online, that's when you can choose your next move. Want to go deeper? Free 20-minute nervous system clarity call.
