Why You Need Specialized Tools to Treat the Freeze Response . . .
For many patients, the freeze response can feel terrifying.
When it takes over, patients often experience paralyzing waves of dread that can leave them unable to move or speak.
Not only that, but freeze shuts down parts of the brain, making it difficult to process much of what’s happening and depressing the ability to take action.
And then there’s the aftermath – once patients come out of it, they’re often left grappling with deep feelings of shame and self-blame for freezing in the first place.
All of this can make the freeze response challenging to work with – but until we help clients regulate their freeze response, treatment often can’t progress.
That’s why we need specialized tools to help us intervene . . .
