The Freeze Response
The freeze response generally goes unnoticed. Not because it is rare because it blends in. It can be less easier to detect compared to the fight or flight. It's the nervous systems protective shutdown when fight or flight are no longer viable.🧠🌱

Relationships matter for a positive school culture.They are also important in trauma informed/responsive practices & how we communicate with young people stuck in limbic brain & sympathetic responses.We need to regulate brains that can't regulate themselves yet.🧠🌱

We will never change behaviors with one conversation. Change takes time. Change takes patience. Change takes support. 🧡
