Functional Freeze? Here's What's Really Happening

Описание: If you’ve ever sat on your couch for two hours scrolling through your phone—desperately wanting to get up but physically unable to move—you are NOT lazy. You are in a "functional freeze" response.

In this episode, we break down why high-achieving women often crash the hardest. We explain the biology behind why your nervous system has hijacked your willpower, and why trying to "push through" only makes the freeze response worse.

We also cover the exact 3-Phase Roadmap (Stabilization, Regulation, Expansion) you need to signal safety to your body so you can finally get your energy back.

In this video, you’ll learn:
Why your procrastination is actually a biological safety mechanism.
The difference between "lazy" and a dorsal vagal shutdown.
How to stop the shame spiral when you can't be productive.
The "Bioenergetic Coherence™" approach to healing your nervous system.
