Flight:
Flight is any attempt to escape from the current difficult reality; anything which helps
the person shift focus from unpleasant feelings could be viewed as flight, and can take
various forms:
▪ Wary, nervous, anxious, panics
▪ Avoids, ignores
▪ Fidgets, moves away, stomps, runs away
▪ Addictions – from substance abuse, sex and gaming to
shopping, TV binge watching, exercise and work.
▪ Self-soothing or stimulating obsessive compulsive behaviours
