The Freeze Trauma Response

from Trauma Rewired · host Jennifer Wallace & Elisabeth Kristof

Have you been putting off sending that important email or having a difficult conversation? Thesecould be signs of freeze trauma response. Not taking action and procrastinating seems likeinnocent occurrences, because we all do it right? However, these can be seriously damaging to our lives and nervous systems. The prolonged trauma that lives in our bodies that doesn't have a chance to move through us can wreak havoc in not only our lives but in our bodies. We have a hard time knowing when we are in freeze response because it is so difficult to pinpoint because it gets roped in with character attributes like laziness or dissociation. Then why do we do this? Well, our brains are very good at protecting ourselves from real or perceived threats, so they create these barriers to not put ourselves in situations where we could potentially have an exaggerated stress response. Then we continue to procrastinate, and go into numbing activities. However, there is a way to move through this and design a life where procrastination isn't the norm, and we can live more fulfilling, healthier lives. Rewiring our bodies isn't an easy task, but the reward is exponential. Tune in today to hear how you can move out of the freeze trauma response and into life!
