No “just get up and move.”\nJust real neuroscience, explained in human language, with zero shame and a few well-placed F-bombs.\nBy the end, you’ll understand why freeze happens, how to tell when you’re in it, and what to actually do when your nervous system goes full opossum mode.\nYou’ll walk away with tools to reconnect to your body — one millimeter, one hum, one breath at a time.\n\nListen if:\nYou’ve been “numb but exhausted” for months.\nYou keep calling it burnout, but it feels more like vanishing.\nYou want to know what’s going on in your brain when everything just... stops.","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/W63vaFw1P16d2xN3SLR7vUZE25bFarjcIZFz84pH7Nk/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9kN2Y4/ZmNlODIwYWI0M2Y5/NTFiZDM0MDQ3OWE5/ZTVjNi5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
