French term or phrase: dans l'auto-réaction
Effectivement, et de par ton exemple tu montres que aussi tout est interrelié parce que à partir du moment où je reviens à moi, ça me permet de conscientiser certaines choses, ça me permet de prendre soin de moi et si je prends soin de moi, je suis plus dans l'auto-réaction et si je ne suis plus dans l'auto-réaction, j'ai beaucoup plus d'espace de réflexion pour ouvrir mon cœur à…au partenaire et faire en sorte que les échanges soient beaucoup plus simples et beaucoup plus fluides.

English translation:I no longer react automatically
Explanation:
I don't think the academic nomenclature for this kind of response is really necessary, if even called for in this case. After all, this is seems to be the expressions of a patient, not a scientist.

agree  Eliza Hall: I agree because of your second link (from Science Direct). The Wikipedia entry does not seem quite what we're talking about here (it's more things like being able to drive a car/ride a bike without thinking about each action involved).

Explanation:
> if this is a layperson speaking - I can't work it from the context. Even if not, such interviewee is unlikely to use a psychiatric, psychological, psycho-analytical or -therapeutic term of art with auto-response or automatic reactivity.

Example sentence(s):
  • The thing that helps me stay compassionate and not immediately turn to shaming and judging myself is my awareness of automatic patterns and habits, also known as running on “autopilot”
  • It’s much easier to simply let our anxious autopilot choose a response.
