Boombird Safety

Most conversations about personal safety focus on a single response. What to do. How to react. Which tool to use.   But real life rarely unfolds in a single, predictable way.   Safety is not about one perfect reaction. It is about understanding how situations change and knowing what options exist as they do.   Distance keeps most people safe In everyday life, distance is one of the strongest forms of protection. Space allows awareness. Space allows movement. Space allows choice.   Most people stay safe simply because distance exists.

But there’s a third, equally powerful survival response: freeze.   The fight flight freeze response is controlled by the nervous system and not conscious thought. When the brain senses danger and believes escape or defense may increase risk, it can momentarily shut down movement, voice, or action. This isn’t weakness. It’s biology.   Freezing can look like: ●      Being unable to scream or speak ● ...
