Visit thesomaticpt.com/subscribe to get your Free Trauma Flow Chart (a different graphic than the one used in this video). To get the slide in this current freeze video, it is available online with a quick google search for "polyvagal theory" and then click on the images tab. Disclaimer: Always go at your own pace and please seek help from a mental health provider if your case is more involved than being able to do yourself. I have rewatched this video today and counted over 15 times I have referenced going slow, titrating, working with someone, watching and linking previous introductory videos and saying to trust yourself if you can't handle something if there is a situation you have that I can't know or account for plus the disclaimers written in my description box, but someone has given me feedback that this is still not clear and someone might do more than what they can handle, so I am pinning this comment. Use your own judgment if you are safe to practice this on your own or if you need to see a practitioner to be safe. This is a general video made for education. This is not therapy. At 11:03, I say "dissociate to survive." Also, the jaw tension example I give in this video is for the freeze response. Jaw tension that is a fight response can be worked on by biting a tongue depressor. I will make a video on this.

I'm watching at 17:50 where you say that people can 'always handle' the emotions that come up. This was unfortunately not the case for me the last time I was in therapy and I feel like it traumatized me even more. So thanks for clarifying this. I really appreciate the video overall.

Thanks for sharing your experience and constructive feedback. I'm sorry to hear what you experienced in therapy 🙏🏼 I have removed this part of the video so that it is not confusing for anyone who may not be sure what their capacity is or if they will be able to handle it. My intention was to reduce fear of feelings because that increases the intensity of the feelings even more, but I understand not everyone should be doing this, which is why I encourage people to work with a professional.

I was taught that having and expressing emotions and vulnerability was not safe and caused abandonment. That's probably why many things I have supressed, but they are constantly with me, they never left. They cause me to live life on auto mode. No trying new things. No being vulnerable with people. No talking about my emotions/feelings with anyone. No experiencing joy. Just scrolling, going to work and playing video games mindlessly

As a certified Gestalt practitioner, facilitating inner child healing, this is quite useful, as many times a “trigger”, causes my clients to go into the fight, flight, freeze mode. In my work groups I teach clients how to acknowledge the trigger, explore it, be kind to it, and take the energy out of it through breath work. They learn new healthy strategies and anchors to shut the FFOR as quickly as possible and return to a calm and clear thinking state. Being in a constant state of fight or flight destroys health. After doing this work in my healing groups, I’ve witnessed so many participants lives improve dramatically. Healing the wounded inner child is paramount to a healthy existence.

The problem with a trigger is it happens so quickly. If you get triggered and the response is to cry well that’s OK because crying is cathartic and that’s a good thing. Maybe you’re in public or in the grocery store and so crying as a response to a trigger might be a little embarrassing, but the worst kind of trigger is the one that produces rage and anger. It is so difficult to try and stop the response to rage and anger. One naturally wants to lash out and like our parents who beat us or humiliated us with their words or locked us in a closet maybe they were reacting so quickly to their anger they just didn’t know what they were doing until after it passed. The damage a response like that causes, never leaves the victim or the target of that rage. I think people can learn to live as a quadriplegic or as someone who loses a limb like an arm or a leg but you never get over that. It stays with you forever. I think it’s the same with childhood abuse and is the root of all the problems we have now in our society. Unresolved childhood abuse, trauma should be a retroactive crime punishable by prison time and fines.

Omg, I can’t tell you how thankful I am for this. I’ve been in therapy for years and also trying to reach out for help to anyone who would listen, I was becoming so desperate for release from this and no one has been able to help. Over the last few months I have figured out myself that this is what I’m going through, and doing the work on my own and feeling like I’m stuck in the pattern of allowing trauma to come up and then sending myself back into freeze. I am beginning to feel like my body is a prison for me.

Thank you so much for explaining this. As a child I constantly went into freeze cuz the only thing we were allowed to be was good, quiet children. As an adult I’ve been with a loud narcissist for 23yrs and realize I’m in fight/flight or freeze daily. The freeze response majority of time and realize since childhood how often I do this for survival. Will be so good to have awareness so I can stop automatically doing this. So thankful I found your videos.

It is interesting as a child i always had underlying feeling that i was going to die. that i couldn't possibly deal with so much stress and everyday i would surprise myself by living. it made me angry at the universe for letting beings suffer so much before the relief of death. it felt cruel. i think the stress really effected my system. at 14 i got diagnosed with narcolepsy w/ cataplexy and at 16 I developed juvenile idiopathic arthritis and even got to the point i was unable to walk up the stairs. I was put on chemo and then the biologic enbrel and luckily went into remission for my arthritis. Still when I get angry I can feel it in my joints. I still have narcolepsy and take meds for it and probably will my entire life. Sometimes I wonder if I was just born an extra sensitive kid because my traumas don't seem as extreme as others for the pain they have caused me. Another weird thing that I have only known a small thread of people on the backest of the internet have related to me on. When I feel certain types of emotional hurt it makes my left wrist hurt so badly. It is a weird pressure point type of pain. Do you think I could get that to go away? Feels related to all of this but it isn't really freeze. It just happens when I think about loosing the people I love and then my wrist aches. Anyways enough rambling, but hey if anyone experienced similar things I've mentioned reach out :)
@Nina.Goradia
@Nina.Goradia 4 месяца назад
Thank you for sharing your experience! This is how you will find people who can relate. I'm sorry to hear all of what you've endured, but know there is hope. You might want to look at the Moving through Powerlessness video regarding the anger. The wrist sounds like a somatic symptom that arises when you think of loss, so there are ways to work with this, but they usually require 1-on-1 support (possibly for only 2 to 4 sessions though). I'm glad you're acknowledging your feelings and allowing yourself to cry...these are the steps to heal. Best wishes on your path 🙏🏼🌞

I went into freeze so severely, that I am at the “preparing for death” phase. I have given up on life, and healing, and accepted the consequences of being overweight and eating unwell. I will not torture myself trying to get healthy, eat healthy, and not get medical support or results. The body suppresses emotions intelligently when it’s too overwhelming is true! I thought it was emotion snatching being done by other alters. Yet another thing on my list of, “things that were not cptsd itself.” My life goal is emotional well-being (emotional regulation). Hunger and physical health are the biggest contributing factors to emotional dysregulation, and emotional regulation. I went for the top prize, but just don’t seem good enough for it, even after having achieved everything else? I’m honestly just venting, because of the frustration of existing in an uncomfortable body, and not having enough willpower and skill to maintain my health.

Sorry to hear of this suffering Yira 🙏🏼 Restrictive eating can have a lot of unhealthy effects on our nervous system. If you are deregulated, it's more important not to deprive yourself and make sure to eat saturated fats and avoid inflammatory and processed foods to help your brain and nervous system physically to heal and regulate. Other health concerns can usually be managed more easily after our nerves have enough myelin to regulate. I wish you much peace in time as you heal 🙏🏼

I started affirmations and I really didn't think they'd work but they are. When I have any thought that just simply isn't helpful in any way I say thanks brain but that's not helpful please give me something else. I repeat I love myself and I deserve love. I've also been taking mdma which has been ridiculously helpful because it gets you in touch with your subconscious mind (your body) immediately and has helped soothe some of the heavier trauma. I was taking too much though so if you're gonna try it just be mindful of that. I'm actively trying my best to focus on the positive. I'm also learning to be forgiving of myself so no saying bad things about myself or mean things to myself. If I mess up or do something I don't like I now say "I am learning and doing the best I can". It's really been helping me. Also I'm taking much less shit from people. How am I gonna feel better if I'm surrounding myself with people who make me feel like shit. I never thought I of all people would learn boundaries but lo and behold, I am. You got this. You exist. You have a right to life and love and happiness.

Hey I just wanted to say that you WILL heal. I know that because I was at that point too. It was so hard for me to do anything at all. If I left the house even just to go to the supermarket I would need at least 2 days to recover from it and even when I was out I was incredibly stressed and dissociating heavily. I was on high doses of two different medications. Everything in my life was a mess and it would take me about an hour to get the motivation to just make a cup of coffee. I was so shy and anxious I could barely talk to anyone at all.!There’s so much more to that. Now I finished a diploma of counselling and I just got accepted into studying psychology at university. I’m in a really happy relationship. I still get triggered and have hard days but even on those hard days I can leave the house. I go to the gym regularly. I have friends now. I even feel joy. I got off one of my medications completely and halved the other. I think I can probably get off the other one completely too but I want to wait a bit when I’ve gotten better with somatic experiencing and university. I still need to do a lot more healing but I’ve gotten so far already and I have only been practicing the start of somatic experiencing and I’m already less stressed and happier. Things absolutely will get better for you. I know it. I believe everyone is capable of healing. A lot of it is about finding what works for you to help yourself get better and to never ever give up. Giving up is guaranteed to make you stay the same or get worse. The more you work on your mental health, the easier it gets to get better and work on yourself more. But yes you have to be patient. Also you have already taken a step forward because you are educating yourself about this stuff.

I had this experience so strongly at one time before knowing what it was. I was deep in shame over a drug addiction resulting from childhood parental addiction, and was thrown into a new realm of responsibility and exposure at my job and the bodily response I experienced was so intense. I literally felt myself curling my neck and spine downward and inward, completely overcome by discomfort. I had the sensation that I would be physically struck in the face if I stopped resisting what was happening. Really intense.

Most therapists in my years of personal experience often do more harm than good. If you can find one that's highly qualified chances are you're not going to be able to see them because they're all booked and/or they won't take your Medicare or maybe even your private insurance anyway because it's too much of a hassle and not enough money for them. But yeah.... a psychiatrist who will lobotomize you with big pharma drugs will certainly take your medicare. Welcome to america.. So for many of us, after awhile we just have to reconcile ourselves to the fact that life is inherently unfair, we were severely traumatized starting from the cradle, and we continue to deteriorate in body and mind as we crawl to that finish line These videos with all their pseudo-technical and 'proprietary' terminology turn me off almost immediately. Which is why I can understand why some people would prefer to do microdosing of psychedelics let's say, or things of that nature to just get a paradigm shift all in one shot and not have to wade through all the interminable verbiage and all the enervating protocols of many 'advanced' trauma therapies. . Not that I've done the microdosing approach myself, but I can certainly understand why some people opt for it

Thank you so much for sharing this helpful information. I m in a freeze right now , and those suppressed emotions are hidden inside the bidy. The one that was mainly suppressed is the restriction of speaking out and expressing all the feelings with others . Right now, it manifested in vocal cords as VCD, where vocal folds are closing during breathing and speech that restricts air and makes it so difficult for the body to function with elevated anxiety and depression. It s not easy to concentrate and perform any mental and physical activity . It feels like you're drowning. It's not easy to swallow, eat , and drink water. Getting easily overstimulated when in social settings. It's been for there for a while, and doctors just puzzled. There is nothing really that brings joy at this point. I know it will resolve eventually. That I need to face that fear and let live thru it being in a present moment . To be grateful for each moment , and in that moment to connect to this condition and accept it from the bottom of my heart feeding it with love and thank it for being here for me to wake me up for newer and higher emotions of appreciation and LOVE ❤️🙏💓💗 Thanks to everyone for being here for me

First time seeing one of your videos. I’ve been to a fair amount of coaches and therapists, even one trauma therapist. They all had the same thought that duality is normal, in working with them, they would all push me into a level of duality that my health and psyche would blow out simultaneously. This has happened many times. I’ve taken a break from all this because I’m not sure if my people picker is that broken, or I’m pursuing the wrong method of healing. Your chart here kinda vindicates my experience, carrying and dealing with all the past trauma, trying to get through what today brings, and creating massive internal confusion and divide on where I want to go. Gunna check out more videos when I get the bandwidth.

Non-duality or widening the perspective around identity and trauma made all the difference for me, as long as it was integrated with feeling my feelings vs a spiritual bypass.

I have been in chronic freeze from about age 3/4 and I am now 61. Hopefully I can sort it and have a few great years. I have had issue with remembering data, times tables, ages, card games and so on. I always felt that I was stupid because of it, However bravery led me to Uni where I realized, the material is in my mind, but I am unable to recall it directly. But given multiple choice tests, I excelled. How does chronic freezing impact on learning and memory? Thanks.

That's wonderful you are excelling at it with the format change! Chronic freeze puts our brain in survival state. It's very hard to learn when we are simply trying to stay alive, as all resources go to that and our brains are flooded with cortisol. We need to feel safe and calm to learn optimally.

@Nina.Goradia
@Nina.Goradia 9 месяцев назад
You're very welcome 🙏🏼 If the jaw tremor is due to anger, it could be a vulnerable emotion underneath it. Check out the videos on stuck anger, powerlessness, primary emotions, any title with vulnerable emotions in the title, the other video on jaw tension that is the fight response (this one is freeze response for the jaw). Sometimes, we never know what was under it and it's ok to not know the label as long as we are willing to feel it through. I hope this helps!

I always try to feel the emotions but so many years of bracing against them. I end up doing this work bavkwards. How can we begin to feel from the beginning?? Rather than having to go into Freeze at all? I know i braced because i was afraid of fear and anxiety. So that was how i coped. But now i want to connect with my body and feel again........ Do you offer 1on1? Sessions... P.s. i love the concept of normalizing freeze. I always have freaked out and quit jobs because it spirals me into not feeling well and anxious about not feeling well and not ever knowing what it was. Until now.
@Nina.Goradia
@Nina.Goradia 11 месяцев назад
I hear you! It's hard to feel from the beginning if our baseline is already in freeze. So, we need to unwind what we have built up until now and work through the freeze response over time to bring our baseline low enough that we don't automatically go into freeze with small triggers. Eventually, we start feeling from the beginning again. Yes, I offer sessions online! To get started, you can fill out forms at thesomaticpt.com/forms. Once we receive your forms, we will email you to set up an appointment :)

Hi! I am discussing the validity of thoughts. For example, I can say "the moon is made of cheese" and yes it is a thought, but the moon isn't actually made of cheese. So the thought isn't true. Many of our thoughts are like this. We think we aren't good enough or have black and white thinking, but we need to examine if these thoughts or views are actually true or of they are simply false statements that we are believing. When we believe them, we give them power and it can cause us suffering because we are not living in the clearest truest reality. Hope this helps! 😊🙏🏼

So I’ve Prichard a course on healing freeze response , unfortunately it doesn’t come with any sort of support . But In the course it’s kind of the same principle relaxing out of dissociation , constantly relaxing all ur body. But idk I’ve been doing it for a while, and I’ve noticed I’m getting new dissociation symptoms and dissociation has been at an all time high for me and no one seems to give me an answer as to why? I’ve been doing this work for a long time now. Feeling very confused on why symptoms are getting worse and more are coming ? Symptoms that I haven’t had since original trauma and symptoms as a teen.

This work really needs to be done with an SEP if you're having more symptoms. I know I couldn't have done it by myself in the beginning. You definitely need guidance. I wouldn't continue on your own if your symptoms are worsening. Once you address what the issue is with an SEP, you can probably resume on your own (based on their recommendation).

It's a good question. We want to become as present as possible to notice sensations in our bodies that occur when we are triggered. It also helps to ask others around us to let us know when they see we are triggered, so we can become more conscious of our unconscious patterns. Then it is on our radar.

Its looks like im scary or angry, and in past i have a difficult childhood with abuse and few dangeros situation recently. Sometimes i feel like i am very small and i scary to go out home, but if i came out i feel better. What would it be on my face, what is the freeze emotion, what should i learn on your channel?
@Nina.Goradia
@Nina.Goradia Месяц назад
It could be a freeze response in the face, but I can't tell from a comment online. I would have to see and work with someone to have more information. A freeze response is covering fight or flight survival energies underneath it. There's possibly 100's of things to learn on this channel, but the main takeaway of this video is to: 1. Understand how the freeze response works. 2. See if it resonates for you and your experience. 3. *If* it's a small trigger, safe and manageable for you, possibly try to relax the braced area by 10% and feel through any underlying emotion. 4. See an SEP or other trauma professional if it's too big to do on your own to learn techniques to make processing the emotion much easier.

The things im hearing from the poly vagal theory oriented videos are ringing true to me when I apply it to myself. Not sure if this is the end all be all for me but i gotta find something and start trying again. Any help is greatly appreciated. Im just getting older by the second and im not growing as a person. Just more hollow and less hopeful. I dont wish to have spent an entire lifetime never having lived at all.

I've always had cptsd which manifested as my nervous system was in fight or flight for years, however I was doing things to manage it. Now I'm completely traumatized and numb for a year. No emotions, even my anxiety is completely gone. My brain is shutting down, just walking outside causes my brain to overload, there's literally a barrier in my brain. Does emdr even work for freeze state? I feel like I need to activate my fight or flight and get my anxiety back, but I can't. Your supposed to find a trigger, but my trigger was the health anxiety that came from the drug and I've never been able to replicate that fear because it already happened if that makes sense?

If you identify with the indicators of freeze at the top of the infographic like shame, dissociation, etc...it might just look like stillness of the body or limitations in spontaneous movement and energy...muscles being still when triggered rather than developing tone. Just a guess, as there are other possibilities. Hard for me to tell online, but something to explore 🙏🏼

Whenever I'm asked to do body scans, I've never felt anything. I have had depression with dissociation when I was young, but currently, I'm trying to redevelop my sense of self so I can find purpose/significance/direction after my empty nest. I'm not having any strong feelings of depression, just blah and certainly not anxiety, but everything I research comes back to polyvagal. Interestingly, I had a Garmin watch this year which showed my cortisol as trash, but I have always felt totally fine!! Lol, I should submit myself to actual scientific study. 🤣

Wow, so interesting. I can't diagnose and of course this is online and I don't know you, but maybe see a practitioner and investigate with them if it's emotional numbness and dissociation, which would also be freeze.

@Nina.Goradia I'm working with my therapist on this, but not really getting anywhere. I think newer developments like what you're describing here are where the field is going, though, and hopefully, she and others can evolve the practice a bit. Thanks for your work!

​@@theburrow1thomas It's my pleasure. I use non-dual somatic techniques, which are very quick and efficient to start coming out of freeze, if you ever want to try. I could teach them to you in about 2 sessions and then you could continue with your therapist just incorporating these. Of course, decide what is best for you and best wishes on this healing journey 🙏🏼🌞

How to get Olivia Hernandez out of the freeze response and have her whistleblow on Rice with a lawsuit ready in place against the school if they choose to retaliate? Take down Vogt, or keep this up?

is this based on The Five Biological Laws of GNM?

No, I haven't heard of that. It's based on Polyvagal theory and Somatic Experiencing. The last part about somatics ego is based on my non-dual teacher Ryan's teachings and my direct experience with them.

Just looked it up...I actually have heard of this, but haven't looked into it yet. Sounds interesting.

You know, to the other Americans on here who are never thinking when they vote, my life has entailed me having to be my own therapist because my country does not, in any way, absolutely no, help me but they don’t think twice about funding genocide. Don’t vote the lesser of two evils just don’t vote. I would love to be able to see a therapist…that’ll never happen unless we are the change. No I’m not a troll I landed here randomly cause I don’t follow this channel. WERE THE CHANGE…so…

I'm sorry to hear therapy hasn't been accessible to you. What I offer isn't therapy, but it may be useful to you when I begin offering group classes in a few months through Patreon.
