Remember, emotion totally overrides logic, however much you might be saying to yourself at the front part of the brain. Your nervous system's doing a wonderful job, keeping you alive, protected and as safe as possible and in the least amount of pain.
Ever wondered why you feel stuck in toxic relationships? Caroline Strawson dives deep into the 'freeze' response in this episode of 'The Narcissistic Abuse & Trauma Recovery Podcast'. Using a simple traffic light analogy, she explains how our nervous system reacts to danger. Green means calm, amber signals caution, and red is when we shut down completely, often feeling paralyzed in distressing situations.
Caroline emphasizes that this freeze response is our brain's way of protecting us, even if it doesn't feel that way. She urges listeners to be kind to themselves and understand that this reaction is about survival. The episode offers practical advice on mapping out your nervous system and engaging in inner work to shift from trauma to growth. Perfect for anyone seeking clarity and healing from narcissistic abuse, this episode is both insightful and empowering.
