Re: What your nervous system would say about living in Functional Freeze!

Thank you for this snippet of ice.  I have lived most of my life with a functional freeze.  I remember so many days just frozen still when things happened that I couldn't cope with.  Sometimes I even got to the stage I spoke inside my brain trying to speak aloud but couldn't for all kinds of reasons.

Re: What your nervous system would say about living in Functional Freeze!

Hello SANE community, 

 

I have been doing some light reading over the weekend. I just learned about a new therapy that interests me and wanted to share. I will share three links to episodes that tie in with Functional Freeze. I haven't finished reading all 3, but here they are, and I hope you find them insightful. 

 

Emotional Shutdown - Understanding Polyvagal Theory 

How to Fix Emotional Detachment 

 

The new therapy that I was referring to is Logotherapy.

Therapeutic Alliance Part 2: Meaning and Viktor Frankl’s Logotherapy 

 

If anyone has heard of Logotherapy before, please let me know. Also, if you have any thoughts about it, please let me know. 

Cheers, P....
