Episode Synopsis

Ever feel like you’re functioning — going to work, replying to texts, doing your routine — but emotionally? You’re flatlined. That strange disconnection might be something called functional freeze. In this episode, we unpack what it is, how it shows up (even in subtle ways), why it happens, and gentle ways to support your nervous system as you come out of it. You’re not broken — your body is protecting you. You can support this podcast by leaving a review or sharing it with a friend. Every review counts!
