    Eps 86 - Part 5: The Fawn Response: Why People-Pleasing and Avoiding Conflict Feels Safer Than Being True to Yourself

    In this final episode of our 5-part series on understanding survival responses, Dr. Ashleigh Moreland and David Masterton explore the Fawn Response, a learned behaviour often rooted in people-pleasing and conflict avoidance. Unlike the reflexive fight, flight, or freeze responses, fawning is a deeply ingrained behaviour many of us adopt to feel safe and accepted, even when it means sacrificing our true selves. Join us as we uncover why we say “yes” when we mean “no,” apologise unnecessarily, and prioritise others' approval over our own needs. Dr. Ashleigh shares how this response can stem from our earliest experiences, where safety and acceptance felt conditional. We’ll dive into the ways fawning impacts our relationships, boundaries, and self-worth—and offer tools for reclaiming personal power by understanding where and why we fawn. If you find yourself abandoning your own voice or struggling to set boundaries, this episode will shed light on the path to healing and self-empowerment. Plus, discover actionable steps to reconnect with who you are beyond the need for approval. Ready to step out of people-pleasing and back into authenticity?

    Eps 85 - Part 4: The Freeze Response: Why We Numb Out and How to Feel Alive Again

    In this episode of the Re-MIND Podcast, Dr. Ashleigh Moreland and David Masterton dive into the often-overlooked freeze response, the part of our nervous system that leads us to shut down, numb out, and mentally ‘check out’ when life feels overwhelming. Dr. Ashleigh explains how freeze can manifest as feelings of detachment, brain fog, and even dissociation—and why this survival mechanism, though protective, often leaves us feeling trapped and unable to move forward. Through real-life examples and relatable metaphors, they explore how freeze differs from other responses like fight and flight, what it looks like in daily life, and why it’s closely linked with symptoms of depression. Dr. Ashleigh also shares practical strategies to ‘defrost’ and reawaken, from gentle movement and grounding exercises to understanding what our nervous system is trying to communicate. If you've ever felt paralysed in the face of stress or disconnected from yourself, this episode is for you. Tune in to understand why we numb out—and discover tools to help you feel alive and connected again.

    Eps 84 - Part 3: The Flight Response: Why We Avoid, Overthink, and Stay Busy – and How to Heal

    In this episode, Dr Ashleigh Moreland and co-host David Masterton dive into the nuances of the flight response, often misunderstood as simply ‘running away’ from stress. But did you know that flight mode can also show up as chronic overthinking, staying endlessly busy, and even mentally checking out? Many of us unknowingly spend a lot of our lives in this state, distracted and disconnected to avoid perceived threats or deep-rooted anxieties. Dr Ash and David explore the hidden ways the flight response can impact our daily lives, from constantly overloading our schedules to compulsively keeping our minds active. They discuss the nervous system’s role in fuelling these behaviours and explain why the mind’s need to escape doesn’t always mean physically fleeing – sometimes, it’s simply the inability to be fully present. You’ll learn to identify subtle signs of flight, understand how it can show up in your relationships and work, and discover healing strategies that go beyond mere ‘coping’ to real integration and inner calm. If you've ever felt the urge to stay busy to avoid something deeper, this episode is for you. Don’t miss this insightful conversation about the flight response’s true nature and how you can find lasting relief by rebalancing your nervous system.
