Lesson Overview

1.37 – Emotional Shutdowns: Why They Happen: When emotions become too strong, your brain sometimes shuts them off to survive. You might feel blank, distant, or frozen. This is your body’s emergency brake—it’s trying to protect you, not punish you. The way forward is gentle reactivation: breathe, stretch, notice sensations, and move slowly. Pushing yourself too fast backfires. Over time, safe experiences help thaw the freeze. A shutdown doesn’t mean failure—it means your system is overwhelmed. Healing begins when you learn to restart safely.
