Description
This infographic validates the automatic, subconscious urge to struggle against a cataplectic event while explaining why that very struggle can make an episode stronger and last longer. Using a clear “BLOCKS” visual metaphor, it helps you and your caregivers understand the Severity Stages – from a simple jaw drop to temporary full-body paralysis. Most importantly, it introduces the “Flow With It” mindset: learning to tune into your inner sensations and proactively “Getting Down” to the floor to let the episode dissipate almost immediately. Use this to reduce the fear of the “invisible battle” and master the art of navigating your triggers with composure.
