The Biology of Trauma® With Dr. Aimie

Stress & Freeze Response: How to Achieve & Sustain High Performance with Olympian Louise Tjernqvist


Listen Later

How can we effectively harness our stress response and work with our freeze response to achieve sustained, high and healthy performance?

Our focus today is on Olympian level of performance. In a world that gives us the message that we need to manage our stress, actually, that may not be what we want to do. We are going to look at our stress physiology through the lens of high performance, because let’s face it, trauma work and personal development can be like Olympian performance for us. It’s hard, it’s long, and we want to know how to use our stress response to help us accomplish the changes we want in our life. 

In this episode, you will learn:

  • The 2 important measures of performance: activation physiology and recovery capacity
  • The importance of mastering both stress activation and recovery
  • The role of routines and biological rhythms in optimizing performance
  • Overcoming the guilt and discomfort associated with taking time to rest
  • How the messages behind physical health symptoms like shingles or adrenal fatigue are not messages just of stress and what those messages are
  • What relationship you need to have with your freeze response for optimal performance
  • Techniques to increase your ability to handle high-stress situations without compromising your well-being
