The freeze response is not something to “fix”; it’s part of our natural human experience, a response that has helped us survive moments of great challenge. Healing simply requires us to find ways to feel safe, supported, and connected enough to re-engage with life.
The belief that we have no choice is often rooted in fear and a lack of awareness. It’s a mindset that can paralyse us, making it difficult to see the options available. This feeling is common in various aspects of life, from relationships and careers to personal growth and daily responsibilities.
