Call of the Wild Quotes

“When your system is under threat, your response is not voluntary—your rational mind is not doing the choosing. You don’t decide to fight, flee, freeze, or collapse. Your nervous system responds with the capacity it has in that moment, based on how it’s been conditioned by past experiences, what was modeled to you as a child, what you’ve tried before that worked or didn’t work, and where you have gotten stuck in a rut.”
― Kimberly Ann Johnson, Call of the Wild: How We Heal Trauma, Awaken Our Own Power, and Use It For Good
