Functional Freeze Explained (my most popular re-release series) #healingtrauma #polyvagaltheory

Please note: This is a re-release of one of my most popular videos. Even if you’ve watched it already, it never hurts to review. Here is the original release: __ Many people are living semi-functional lives in some spectrum of the freeze response—and they have no idea. Sure, they’re numb, shut down, checked out, checked out from their body, internal physiology, sensations, emotions, and life force energy. But that’s normal, right? This, my friends, is what we in this somatic trauma healing world often refer to as functional freeze. In today’s video re-release, I dive deeper into functional freeze, what it is, how these patterns get embedded into us humans, and steps you can take to thaw out and come back to life. Resources I mention during this video: ► Polyvagal Theory Explained ► The Basics of Orienting ► On letting the body “take over“ when practicing mind-body work ► Raising healthy humans starts here ► Why shaking isn’t enough, how functional freeze can show up, healing early trauma, and more ► How to come out of a chronic freeze response after repeated stress & trauma ► Robert Scaer’s Books __ Thank you for being here! 1.
