Survival Behaviors: 1) Escape 2) Fight 3) Freeze Frontal Lobes: $@#&!!! (Confabulation) THE BODY How History Effects Behavior: Then: Now: Trauma Normal Stressor Necessary Survival Response Time Locked in the Body Excessive Survival Response Survival Responses of the Nervous System* Fight, flight and freeze are automatic survival actions. They are similar to reflexes, but are much more complex. If the perception of the limbic system is that there is not time to flee, then the body will fight. If the limbic perception is that there is not enough time to flee, but there is adequate strength to fight, then the body will fight. If the limbic system perceives there is neither time nor strength for fight or flight it will freeze. It is important to understand that these limbic system ANS responses are instantaneous, instinctive responses to a perceived THREAT. *“The Body Remembers: The Psychopathology of Trauma and Trauma Treatment” Babette Rothschild The De-Escalation Tools Building Emotional Alliances Step 1: Step 2: Step 3: Step 4: Step 5: Step 6: M A N A G E anage Yourself, Model Reasonable Behavio r, and M ake a Plan gree, Acknowledge, and Listen avig ate the Thoughts and Perceptions id in Generating Solutions and Solving the Problem enerate Reasonable Consequences and Take Personal Responsibility nd by Repairing R elationships II.

Follow the Paleo Pyramid: Eat Whole, Unprocessed Foods Make olive oil your main source of added fat. Avoid saturated fats (butter, palm oil), trans fats (margarine and hydrogenated oils) and omega 6 oils (corn and soy bean oils). NEVER GO HUNGRY – Eat all the fresh fruit and vegetables that you want! Paleo Pyramid: Eat Like Your Ancestors Refined, Processed foods. “Anything in a box, bag, or can” Foods in their natural, Unprocessed state The Health and Wellness Guide to Eating Fruits And Vegetables Anything Fresh or Frozen (not potatoes) Lean Protein Turkey Breast Lean Pork Chicken Eggs Fish Tofu Complex Carbohydrates Pasta Barley Basmati Rice Whole Grain Bread Boiled New Potatoes Multi Vitamins: Take a daily Multi-Vitamin that delivers at least 100% of the recommended daily allowances (RDA). The best choices are Centrum Performance or generic equivalent. I like Kirkland brand “High Performance” at Costco or ideally the Enzymatic Therapies product “From Fit to Fantastic” available at www.endfatigue.com B Complex Take a B complex daily that delivers at least 100% of the RDA of each of the B vitamins. The best choices are Kirkland brand “B-50” at Costco of equivalent. If ordering multi-vitamins from Enigmatic Therapies separate B complex is included at no extra cost. Vitamin D Take 4000 IU’s of Vitamin D3. The best choices are GNC or equivalent, 2000 IU’s per tablet, NOT with calcium OR vitamin A. Omega 3 Fatty Acid In order to promote physical and mental health in reasonably healthy people 1200 mgs of EPA & DHA in a ratio of 2:1 with greater than 50% of capsule content DHA & EPA. Best choices are pharmaceutical grade Omega’s as they have the least contaminants and the highest grade fish oil. They include “Omega Brite” (available at www.omegabrite.com) and Zone omega’s (available at www.zonediet.com). Costco has a Kirkland brand “Fish Oil Omega 3: One Per Day” Item # 240669, just make sure you take 2 capsules per day. Exercise: Enjoy some from of exercise almost daily, aerobic if possible, for 30-45 minutes, as close as is comfortable to 75% of maximum heart rate. Start SLOW, increase SLOWLY, and ENJOY it! Sleep: Get 7-9 Hours of sleep per night. If you cannot get 7-9 hours, sleep too much, awake still tired, or cannot get to and stay asleep, take 1 mg of melatonin 1 hour before bed and DO LIGHT THERAPY. Expose yourself to 10,000 lumens of bright white light (NOT full spectrum) for at least a half hour at the prescribed distance. If sleep is still a problem, practice good sleep hygiene and have a quick course of sleep oriented cognitive behavior therapy before taking medication.
