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!

How to come out of a chronic freeze response after repeated stress & trauma || IRENE LYON || Q&A

This is one of the BIGGEST questions I get. How does a person come out of a chronic shutdown and functional freeze stress physiology after they've been shutdown and not able to FEEL or process past emotions, memories and sensations effectively, or for many, not at all. This is a common situation when one has survived a lot of adversity, chronic stress, abuse, and to be quite honest, just living in the Western world surviving and PUSHING through to make ends meet and keep up with the standards.
