Adaptive Under Fire

Adaptive Under Fire redefines PTSD by examining it through the lenses of neuroscience, evolutionary biology, and nervous system regulation, highlighting how survival responses like fight, flight, freeze, and fawn are adaptive, not flaws. The audiobook explores how prolonged stress and instability recalibrate the nervous system, often leading to various modern diagnoses, and offers a grounded framework for understanding these responses. Rather than promising quick fixes or promoting trauma as identity, it provides clarity, accountability, and a path toward reclaiming regulation, stability, and agency.
