Fight, flight, and freeze are no way to live - so quit living that way. Sometimes we need a superhero to protect us from something that is too overwhelming or chronically present for us to handle. Unfortunately, that superhero is the reactionary part of our brain that resorts to fight, flight, or freeze in the face of perceived threat. Sometimes the superhero who rescued us sticks around, thinking we need his constant protection. Unfortunately for us, our superhero is now a little out of shape and his version of protection is screwing up our lives with over-the-top reactions to everyday stuff. So, if your life is ruled by anger, or you tend to avoid all things difficult, rely on substances or food to get you through stressful situations, or you just haven't grown in life like you know you probably should, you might have a superhero who has taken up residence. This book is about understanding why you do what you do when you don't know why you do what you do.
