Functional Freeze, Fascia & Survival Stress: A Deep Dive with Lisa Loiseau

Show SummaryIn this deeply meaningful conversation, Mitch and somatic practitioner Lisa Loiseau explore the often invisible world of functional freeze, survival mode, fascia, and nervous system healing. Lisa shares her personal story of believing she was “fine” — until her body erupted in severe skin flares, weight loss, overwhelming emotions, and shutdown.Together, Mitch and Lisa unpack: • How trauma hides in the body for decades • Why talk therapy sometimes overwhelms the system • The link between fascia and the autonomic nervous system • The difference between fight vs. flight dominant patterns • How movement, breath, and micro-choices create safety • The power of “running to safety” in healing procedural memory • Why slowness, play, and attunement matter more than intensityThis episode is perfect for anyone dealing with chronic symptoms, freeze, anxiety, activation, or fatigue — and for practitioners who want a lived example of the body’s wisdom.Lisa also shares how she blends PT, myofascial release, somatic education, and therapeutic movement in her work, plus how listeners can connect with her online.Timestamps00:00 — Lisa’s Wake-Up Call: “I thought I was fine…” 12:30 — Discovering Nervous System Work & Irene’s Programs 24:45 — Healing Patterns: Fear, Symptoms & the “River of Love” 40:10 — Flight vs. Fight: Running to Safety (Major Breakthrough) 54:55 — Fascia, Trauma & Real Body-Based Healing Guest BioLisa is a somatic practitioner with a background in physical therapy, yoga, and myofascial release.
