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!
