Have you ever felt like you’re functioning on the outside but disconnected on the inside? Like life is carrying on around you, but you’re not quite in it?

That’s the freeze response a powerful, protective state triggered by overwhelm, trauma, or prolonged stress. And if you’re there right now, you’re not alone. In this episode of The Happya Life Podcast, Clare Deacon, positive psychology coach and trauma-informed therapist, shares her personal experience of moving through freeze, and offers gentle, actionable steps to help you begin thawing.

Tune in to learn:

  • What the freeze response really is (and why it’s not your fault)
  • How trauma impacts your nervous system and shuts down decision-making
  • Why micro-movements and nervous system regulation are the first step toward healing
  • How to re-engage with life without pushing or performing
  • How to feel safe, resourced, and present again, at your own pace

Whether you’re frozen by grief, burnout, anxiety, or overwhelm, this episode will help you feel seen, soothed, and supported. You’ll leave with compassionate tools to take your next small, powerful step forward.

🧠 Grounded in neuroscience. 💛 Held in warmth and honesty.
