Do the simplest tasks ever feel like monumental challenges? Join me as we dissect the phenomenon of functional freeze—a state where your brain's response to stress can leave you feeling disconnected and anxious. We'll delve into how your brain reacts to everyday stressors like work deadlines and social obligations, and manifests in physical symptoms and reactionary choices (or lack thereof). I'll also explain the roles of the autonomic nervous system and the amygdala, and how chronic stress or unresolved trauma can worsen these experiences. Using the cognitive triangle framework, we'll explore how your thoughts, feelings, and actions intertwine to sustain this freeze response, and most importantly, I’ll give you actionable insights on breaking this cycle to become more proactive and present in your life.
