You Picked:
"I'm flat | numb | frozen”
This is the freeze state — when your system is overwhelmed and shuts down to protect you.
It’s like hitting the emotional brakes.
This state, linked to the dorsal vagal response, can leave you feeling detached, spaced out, low, or like you're under a heavy fog. It's hard to get yourself going.
You might have parts that learned to dissociate or go numb because feeling was too much in the past.
To shift gently, think activation with compassion.
We don’t force ourselves “out” but offer small signals of safety, warmth, and movement to help your system thaw and reconnect.
Suggested Practices:
Pick one, or try them both.
