Listen "#4 Functional Freeze, Fawning & the Myth of High Functioning"
Episode Synopsis
In this week's episode we explore what Functional Freeze looks like and how being in this blended state can look like competence, but that in fact it's keeping you operational while shutting you down from your true needs. I'll unpack what it is (and isn’t), how it forms in childhood, and how to tell it apart from high sympathetic stress. And I'll also introduce fawning - the people-pleasing survival strategy that often occurs alongside freeze, and explore practical ways to start thawing.
