Weathering Your Wither Storm Minecraft - Fight Flight Freeze - Neurodiversity

This Minecraft-inspired interactive therapy activity uses the powerful metaphor of the Wither Storm to help individuals understand and manage their fight, flight, and freeze (FFF) responses. It explores how the Wither Storm’s three heads represent different ways we react to fear or anxiety and how the command block—much like the amygdala in our brain—can sometimes send us into overdrive, causing emotional overwhelm, or anxious feelings.
 
The activity walks users through a story-like journey of how the Wither Storm grows out of control when the command block (amygdala) keeps triggering unnecessary alarms. Through interactive elements, visuals, and practical exercises, users learn how to calm their "storm," switch to "Creative Mode" (representing calm and control), and find ways to manage overwhelming emotions in real life.
