BRAIN STRESS & PRICKLE HABITS

As I explained when you visited, I sometimes use a different name for

stress responses – I call them ‘Prickle Habits’! Even adults get a bit prickly

sometimes – I bet you have seen that! (Sorry, Scott!).

You explained that you can sometimes find it hard to ‘catch the prickle’ and

let someone know what isn’t ok for you.

Do you hide and freeze? Do you avoid? Do you run?

Do you throw? Do you mask or bury?

I’m I’m

scared!

We talked about noticing our ‘Prickle Habits’ – this is the first step to feeling

and doing better.

You recognised your prickle habits as fight or flight. Just knowing that is a

great first step! The next step is to practise ‘catching the prickle’! There is

more information about this on the practice pages.
