The freeze response to childhood trauma

In this episode, I delve into the "Freeze" response, also known as the camouflage reaction. An automatic and instinctive survival mechanism, the freeze response can be triggered when escape or resistance is impossible. I explore how this reaction can manifest in various ways, from numbing out and dissociating to excessive sleeping or withdrawing socially. Join me to gain a compassionate understanding of the freeze response and find hope in the journey to healing and recovery.   ✨The Power Of Mind – Healing Through Self-Hypnosis✨ https://www.awakentherapy.com.au/the-power-of-mind   I'm James Hands, Holistic Psychologist and Clinical Hypnotherapist, and creator of Awaken Therapy.
