ℹ️🌿 WHAT IS FUNCTIONAL FREEZE, AND HOW CAN YOU SOOTHE IT? |

Today many people are experiencing their day-to-day life in a way that doesn’t quite feel right, but does not fit within what we know of depression or anxiety.

While they are able to carry on daily tasks, they feel disconnected from the world, lack motivation, feel numb and have a background anxiety which won’t seem to shift. It can impact so much in life, but you can’t quite place your finger on where it is coming from. If this sounds familiar, then you may be experiencing ‘functional freeze’.

ℹ️🌿 HOW TO COPE WHEN THERE IS A RUPTURE IN A RELATIONSHIP |

We learn about relationships and the world in childhood. (Am I safe or not?), (am I loveable?), (do they like me/accept me, do I belong?) How early relationships have been modelled to us makes a difference.

As we develop, our worldview may change as we consider assumptions that we have made about ourselves and other people. We may need to reflect on some of these core beliefs and thoughts and change them.

If we have lived or are living in an environment which is unpredictable, our nervous systems will be hyper-vigilant - we are waiting for the next raised voice or slammed door as a person leaves. (will they return?) Our levels of anxiety and fear of abandonment and rejection will be front and centre of our focus.
