Topic: Flight Responses in Adult Care
The flight response is an automatic reaction to threat, either real or perceived.
When someone feels overwhelmed, distressed, or unsafe, their nervous system may drive them to create distance from the situation by leaving, withdrawing or seeking space. This response is not a deliberate choice, but a protective strategy aimed at reducing stress and restoring a sense of safety and control.
Understanding what this behaviour is communicating helps us understand what is going on for the individual and devise the best supports.
