The freeze response is the art of disappearing to survive. When escape or fight wasn’t possible, your body learned to shut down—go still, go numb, go somewhere else in your mind. That freeze once kept you safe, but as an adult, it can look like disconnection, isolation, or feeling “stuck.” #CPTSD #FreezeResponse #TraumaHealing #NervousSystemRegulation #TraumaInformed #SomaticHealing #HealingJourney #MentalHealthAwareness #therapyinanutshell #Emotionprocessing #therapy #mindset | Therapy in a Nut

The freeze response is a type of trauma response that is activated when your body perceives a threat and is unable to fight or flee from it.🥶 During the freeze response, your body releases hormones such as cortisol and adrenaline, which can increase heart rate and blood pressure. The freeze response also causes the muscles to tense up, which can lead to stiffness and rigidity. In freeze mode, the nervous system activates the parasympathetic branch, dorsal vagal nerve, which slows down the heart
