SERIOUSLY SPEAKING - FROZEN?

Scientists have long spoken about the human fight or flight response in reaction to danger.

Then they started exploring the neurological connections that created a third reaction to danger - the freeze response.

Maybe, they theorized, it had to do with hiding from those gigantic predators …

We also seem to have a tendency to freeze when our brain has difficulty processing clashing expectations. 

Think about trying to move in two opposite directions at once…


DANCE WITH IT!   EXPERIENTIAL APPS                           
An opportunity to experiment with some fun ideas…

THINK ABOUT SOME SITUATIONS WHERE YOU FROZE…

These are times you might have described yourself as 'gob smacked' or used words like 'huh?' or 'what?'…

Maybe you felt your jaw drop or found yourself staring wide eyed at whatever happened? 

The most important thing to realize is that this is a reaction to an energy clash. In these situations our expectations don't fit reality. 

The freeze actually allows us to catch our breath and regroup!
