About

There’s no doubt that daily life situations, transitions and challenging relationships can be triggering. These triggering events and relationships can cause emotional flooding. Emotional flooding is the body’s response to being overly aroused by physical and emotional sensations which could lead to “shutdown” mode. This can look like an inability to concentrate, being mentally withdrawing, having a fight-flight-freeze reaction, intense anger, toxic stress, paralyzing anxiety, grief or depression which are impacting your quality of life and ability to maintain optimal functioning.
