Understanding Freeze Mode

As your body adjusts to this new season of stillness, you might notice that you’re more emotional than ever. Emotions that were once numbed or pushed aside in survival mode are now surfacing. It can feel disorienting, as if your mind and body are sending conflicting signals—like you’re both safe and unsafe at the same time. 

Chaos Creates Change

You might wonder, “Why do I feel so out of control?” The truth is, your body is learning to trust safety. It’s like thawing out after being frozen for years. Your nervous system, which has been in overdrive, needs time to recalibrate. This process can be uncomfortable, and it’s not uncommon to feel symptoms of anxiety, fatigue, or even physical ailments, like headaches or tension, as your body releases stored stress and trauma.

Transform Creation Into Cash

This is why it’s so crucial to give yourself grace during this time. Healing isn’t linear, and the discomfort you feel is actually a sign that your nervous system is rewiring. Each day, remind yourself that you’re safe now, even if your body hasn’t fully caught up to that reality yet.
