144: The Throat Chakra Stress Response - Fight, Flight, Freeze, or Fawn Part 3

It's time to talk about the Freeze Response - the Throat Chakra's reaction to stress. Freeze isn’t complicated. We’re faced with a threat and we freeze. Physically we take no action. We don’t say anything. It’s as if our bodies have shut down, that any message from the brain that we’re in danger and might do something about it never gets translated to the body. We start to take up less energetic space, maybe even physical space, our heart rates slow, and we start to feel detached, like we’re not even there. Or you may experience sudden exhaustion or feeling of heaviness. If any of this sounds like how you respond to stress, this episode will help you understand yourself a little better and give you some tools to help get you back into your body and situation when freezing isn't a useful response. Each week, we'll continue to learn tools and ideas that we can use to move closer to our highest selves!
