Have you ever experienced a situation where there was so much emotional stress that it became overwhelming?
Your nervous system has a very intelligent solution for this: it shuts down to keep you safe. It freezes the feelings in your body so you can go on with your life.
During a ‘freeze’ response parts of you go numb to protect yourself from getting hurt again. Or, so it seems. In reality, your body remembers what happened and whenever there is a situation in your life that triggers the feelings underneath the ‘freeze’ response, it’s like you’re re-living the past all over again.
Signs you may experience 'frozenness’ in your nervous system are: feeling stuck, powerless and emotionally disconnected. There can also be procrastination, avoiding, anxiety & depression.
Working with your nervous system is vital to start to melt some of the layers of the freeze response in your body and welcome in more vitality, creativity and resilience.
During this online class we will explore:
- What a freeze response is
- What happens in your nervous system when you experience a freeze response
