How to get out of the FREEZE Trauma Response using somatic tools

[@MrNathan232]

YeY!!! one of my favorite KZbinr is back I’ve been literally checking to see this update every single day since the last video on the freeze response video!!!

[@Micheline.Maalouf]

I am so sorry for my break!! I’m back. Let me know if there is anything I can help answer ❤️❤️❤️

[@SafetyScout]

Love the “Cs get degrees”!! That’s how I got through all my schools. Also now understand that I can’t get better until I get out of my overwhelming environment.

[@JoyceDantas-tr1gp]

I love the "Good enough" tool. Thank you 😊

[@Micheline.Maalouf]

You’re so welcome! It’s so helpful when we feel everything needs to be perfect. It can make us freeze more. Good enough helps us get out of it

[@flowerwoman9227]

This is very good, one of the best therapist on KZbin, it helped me get out of freeze zone and helped me with my mental health

[@andreeanasca8216]

"do it sucky" I love it! that will be my new mantra! my perfectionism has been keeping me in freeze/procastination mode this whole time

[@SunshineLo]

I can't thank you enough for how much your intrusive thought and anxiety related videos have helped me ❤ You're an amazing queen thank youuu ✨️🫶

[@Micheline.Maalouf]

You’re so welcome! That makes me so happy to hear! I will make more about that topic to help

[@SunshineLo]

@@Micheline.Maalouf That would be so amazing, tysm! ❤️

I tell my self, that implementing new habits, is like beginning to take vitamin pills. Taking ONE is not gonna cut it, but that you build it up. Each vitamin pill is a building block. Important, no waste of time or action. In time you will feel more and more advantage. That seems to make super good sense to my mind. Likely because I have had good experiences with vitamin pills 😊

Micheline, thank you so much! I needed this. And I know you are probably not going to see this, but I still want to ask you something. I’m Palestinian (not in Gaza or anything) and obviously these past 9 months haven’t been easy. I’m also starting to wake up to many other injustices and genocides in the world such as Sudan and Congo. Do you have tips on how to manage this? I get stuck in the freeze response and I start being unable to feel anything, and I feel guilty for it. I also can’t show up for the people like I would like to. I know as a fellow SWANA person you are feeling this too. What can we do??

[@pantegohummus8215]

I'm so sorry you have to go through that hell. My heart hurts for you.

[@FusionGitana]

Love all these tips. Thank you for posting this.

[@Micheline.Maalouf]

[@igorsilva3988]

I have been searching for this topic on yt for weeks, it seems you cant find videos on freeze response specificaly. Your content is great, thank you 🙏

[@helens8334]

Welcome back Micheline!!! Great video! Thank you!

[@Micheline.Maalouf]

You are so welcome!🙏

[@maheshmangar1450]

I noticed being around people increases the strength of this coping mechanism. How can I ever heal?

[@Zoe_EK]

I have been waiting for this video since October 😂 Thank you so much! I really appreciate your content ❤

[@nainatomar1321]

This video was really helpful for me , thank you so much ❤.

[@Micheline.Maalouf]

Yes! Hope they help ❤️

[@john007abc]

Hi! Thank you for your videos! I feel ADHD (state of paralysis, executive dysfunction) looks like a freeze response. Could ADHD be an expression of the freeze state? Thank you!

[@jafetaquiroz553]

Hi can you explain about selective mutism??? And how to treat it? As an adult

[@acewurld842]

Thank you ❤

[@MrNathan232]

Thank you so much for the helpful video❤❤❤

[@Micheline.Maalouf]

Thank you so much! Let me know if there is anything I can answer in another video ❤️

[@MrNathan232]

I think this video helped me out immensely and for now I'll practice some of these tips but if I come across something to ask I'll do that❤️❤️❤️

[@Hhhuddyyuiijbbssety]

Mam pls a make video on food anxiety or food phobia specially on meat

[@natural3362]

Is healing includes feeling emotions?

[@Zoe_EK]

As someone who has lived in the freeze state for over 15 years (due to cptsd, dissociative disorder) I can also recommend stimuli for your senses if it is really accute! Like cold cloths or muscle cream that gets got, certain smells etc. And definitely: walk it off! Mindful walking really is magical! Sometimes it feels like I am starting to float once the effect kicks in! Sending lots of hugs to all of you out there! You got this ❤🫂

[@Swiftie52]

What about if you are finding it really hard to get back into your window of tolerance? Like when youre in hypoarousal and you try to get out of it and go into panic and then it just keeps bouncing between the two? And what about with emotional flashbacks, or when your like down that shame spiral? What can help with them?

[@emily16338]

LOVE YOU

[@Blueberrytree321]

Thank you so much for this video!! I really need to speak to a therapist, would it be okay to reach out to you for a talk?? It would really help me with some issues I’m dealing with

[@Micheline.Maalouf]

You’re so welcome! Unfortunately I cannot speak unless you’re one of out therapy clients. If you live in Florida and are interested in virtual therapy feel free to contact my practice

[@Blueberrytree321]

@@Micheline.Maalouf I don’t live in Florida. Is that fine?

[@sanekabc]

I did your pink elephant exercise and it didn't work. I just looked at you and nothing else was on my mind. :)

Do you believe in Jesus christ

That has nothing to do with the topic of this video.
