Episode 66: Stress Responses: Freeze

When you're navigating a cancer journey, stress responses are going to show up whether you want them to or not. But what if the thing we've been taught to judge ourselves for is actually pointing us toward the solution?In this conversation, we explore how these responses are really precursors to emotions—and why that freeze response you might be criticizing yourself for could actually be your pathway to conscious choice-making.Whether you're receiving unexpected news from your medical team, dealing with the daily challenges of treatment, or supporting someone through their cancer journey, this episode will help you understand what your body is trying to communicate and how to work with it consciously.Because here's what we know: you're going to be triggered. The question is whether you're going to notice what's happening in your body and take a moment to be with it, or let the automatic response take over completely.
