You know that feeling when someone asks you something important.
And suddenly your mind goes completely blank.
Not because you don't know the answer. Not because you're unintelligent.
But because in that moment, you can't access your words.
You freeze.
Your throat tightens. Your face gets hot. You want to say something but nothing comes out.
Later, when you're alone, the perfect words come to you. And you think: "Why couldn't I say that then?"
Here's what's actually happening:
You're in a freeze response.
Your nervous system perceived a threat (maybe judgment, maybe vulnerability, maybe performance pressure).
And when your nervous system perceives a threat, it makes a split-second choice: fight, flee, or freeze?
In freeze mode, your entire system is focused on survival, not communication. Your prefrontal cortex (the part that speaks) shuts down. Your body goes quiet.
This isn't shyness. This isn't being bad at social interaction.
This is a survival response that your body learned to keep you safe.
The problem? You're using it in situations where there's no actual threat.
And that's exactly what we're addressing in the Re-MIND Method.
We're teaching your nervous system to recognize the difference between real threats and perceived threats.
So you can speak. So you can show up. So you can be seen.
Does this resonate? When do you find yourself freezing?
Comment below. Tell me your experience. đ
And if this lands, save this video. Share it with someone who needs to hear it.
You're not broken. You're not shy. You're a freeze responder.
And that's absolutely changeable.
