An Introduction to Adrenal Response Mechanism – Behavioural Alarm Response

An Online Course Decoding the Neurobiological Framework for Human Survival Behaviours

The Adrenal Response Mechanism – Behavioural Alarm Response (ARM-BAR) course explores how the human nervous system responds to threat through Fight, Flight, Freeze, Fawn, and Flop behaviours. It provides a clear, science-informed framework for understanding why people react the way they do under stress and how these automatic responses influence behaviour, decision-making, and recovery long after danger has passed.

About the Course

This short online course explores the Adrenal Response Mechanism – Behavioural Alarm Response (ARM-BAR), helping you understand how the nervous system responds to threat and danger. Moving beyond Fight or Flight, it examines the full spectrum of survival responses: Fight, Flight, Freeze, Fawn, and Flop; and explains how these responses develop, how they show up in everyday life, and why they are adaptive. Designed for anyone interested in self-awareness, well-being, trauma-informed practice, or human behaviour, the course offers a compassionate framework for understanding stress responses in yourself and others, supporting clearer and more informed decision-making when operating under pressure or threat.
