Why am I exhausted (the Freeze response)

Healing Honeys (formerly OPENHOUSE with Louise Rumball)

#152 - Welcome to *the* episode designed to help you understand how to actually start recognising, understanding and shifting out of the ‘freeze mode’ of Polyvagal Theory.

The more work we do with our There She Glows cohort we’re realizing some people are in HARD freeze and have been for a long time. But coming out of freeze needs to be gentle.

Louise and Sarah delve into everything related to 'freeze' and explore practical daily tips, tricks, and hacks to help transition your body out of this state and return it to its 'baseline'.

If you’re depressed or feel stuck, lost and like you can’t seem to function in the way you want to, this episode is for you. It’s also a beautiful episode to help you support others around you who may be feeling ‘frozen’, stuck or depressed.

The pair discuss:

• Why you can’t out-think the freeze mode
• How healing freeze lies in the bottom-up approach to healing (+ what this means)
• The concept of a ‘felt sense of safety’ and how important this is to healing the freeze state
• Somatic experiencing - what it is and why the release of emotions is vital for healing freeze
• Tips, tricks and methods that can help alleviate the ‘freeze’ state: including felt sense of safety, morning sunlight, intermittent fasting, psychedelics, mushrooms, BDNF and more
• The concept of ‘bringing your life force back into your body’
• Identifying what energisation means for you - moving, grooving, healing, shaking, singing, dancing, painting, friendship, human connection - and more

The pair also dive into how neural rewiring is a big part of the body learning to function outside of the freeze state and how it can help you shift back to the state where you were born to thrive, heal and repair!
