Frozen, NOT Broken

from Mirror Mirror On the Mic · host malissamatia

Have you ever told yourself, "why can't I just get over this?" In this episode, we are talking about the difference between broken and frozen. Because so many of us walk around believing there's something wrong with us when the truth is much simpler and much kinder. Your nervous system might just be stuck in protection mode. I'm talking about the freeze response. It can look like procrastinating, people pleasing, self-doubt, or even overthinking. But that doesn't mean you are broken. Its means your system learned how to survive and froze in survival mode. And great news....frozen things can thaw! This episode is for anyone who has ever felt stuck, numb, or like they should be "further along"...whatever that means :) Don't forget to follow us on Instagram @mirrormirroronthemic so you can set up a chat with me or just see the good that is still in this world with our daily posts and stories.
