This presentation introduces Functional Freeze, a mixed nervous system response to chronic stress that often goes unrecognized but shapes how we think, feel, and move through daily life. From brain fog and exhaustion to disconnection and overwhelm, Functional Freeze affects people in ways that change how they function and live. Grounded in Mind-Body Medicine, stress physiology, and autonomic neuroscience, this presentation offers a holistic, evidence-based framework for understanding Functional Freeze and how to begin healing from it.
