Happy Sunday! And a warm welcome to our new community members Vanessa, Michelle, Jacob, Amelia and Opri!
So we've discussed the Fight / Flight reaction a fair amount, and how we can counter it with proactive disengagement, deep breathing, stimulating the parasympathetic nervous system, and similar tools offered by my own mental health support system.
But one of the lesser discussed trauma responses is Freeze. How do we come out of a state of being shut down? How do we start moving when we're stuck, or process emotions when we're numb?
Today I'll pass the baton to Irene Lyon, who offers a set of tools here to help move through this Freeze experience, whether momentary or chronic. If you like this video, check her channel for more like it. I hope it serves!
Hugs
