Instead, they focus on the present, teaching us to tune into our current feelings and bodily sensations. Irene offers practical somatic tools to help listeners identify and address their freeze responses, paving the way for more joy in daily life.
They also discuss the importance of safety and purpose in the healing journey and how connecting with our environment can play a crucial role in recovery. If you're curious about how to break free from the freeze response and embrace a more joyful life, this episode is a must-listen.
