The Fear Paralysis reflex and Facial Reflexes
This is a 2 day course that looks at the Fear Paralysis Reflex (FPR) in-depth and how some people with this reflex still active in their system are living in ‘survival’ mode most of the time. They don’t feel connected in the world, they find it very difficult to communicate or express themselves as they don’t feel safe enough to do so. It is a very debilitating and frustrating situation to be in. They want to, but cannot. Some people put on a ‘face’ when they leave home to help them cope in the outside world, for others that is not enough and they cannot leave their safe environment. If they do manage to leave and get into a stressful situation, they cannot cope and go into overwhelm.The world is not a safe place. The FPR is a very powerful reflex and affects a person’s life considerably.
The Fear Paralysis reflex causes freeze / paralysis / ‘shutdown’. We have no choice to move. We need to do this in certain situations but with our choice. Whereas the Moro reflex is the ‘fight or flight’ and gives the choice to stand and fight or runaway. If the FPR is un-integrated and is the dominant reflex of the two then we have no choice to be able to move. People on the ASD spectrum can have either or both of these reflexes still retained at some level.
This course addresses more of the emotional aspects as well as the physical side and uses specific techniques to help the person to feel ‘safe and connected’ through movement. The techniques make profound changes to a person’s life and allows them to live more normal lives. The course also is about Bonding and Attachment issues some people have, and helping to improve speech and articulation challenges. It is an amazing course to help those living in constant fear and overwhelm. Be prepared to observe and feel some profound changes.
