How to Stop Freezing Up in Stressful Situations

How to Stop Freezing Up in Stressful SituationsThe transcript explores the common experience of feeling paralyzed and unable to take action despite having tasks to complete due to the freeze response triggered by perceived threats or stressors. It delves into the neurobiology behind this phenomenon, emphasizing the brain's complexities and the mismatch between modern stressors and primitive survival instincts. The approach to addressing the freeze response involves celebrating small victories to rewire the brain's perception of threats, gradually diminishing the freeze response and regaining control. This process, although gradual, offers a pathway to overcoming the freeze response and achieving goals effectively.
