Nervous System Regulation Cards Printable, 88 Fight Flight Freeze Fawn Coping Skills Cards, Stress Response Deck, Instant Download

Understand your stress response, and know what to do. When we feel unsafe, the nervous system reacts with fight, flight, freeze or fawn. This printable deck has 22 coping skills cards for each response: every card describes a sign to notice and gives three simple, practical steps to calm your body and find your way back to safety.

MINDSET CARDS, NOT AFFIRMATIONS
Affirmations are quick feel-good phrases. These are mindset cards: each card puts an old thought next to a new way of thinking, so you train long-term thinking patterns that last, one card at a time.
