You get things done.
You show up when you have to.
But inside, everything feels… muted.
You’re not falling apart—but you’re not fully here either.
You laugh, but it feels hollow.
You rest, but don’t feel restored.
You cry, but only when it spills over.
This is the freeze response—and it’s more common than most of us realize.
Especially for women of color.
What Is the Freeze Response—and Why Does It Show Up?
The freeze response is a nervous system state that activates when fight, flight, or fawn no longer feel possible. It’s your body’s way of surviving overwhelming stress by shutting down sensation, presence, or emotion.
It might show up as:
- Disconnection from emotions or the body
- Feeling stuck, passive, or like you’re “just going through the motions”
- Difficulty making decisions or taking action
- Feeling tired no matter how much you rest
- Numbness instead of joy, sadness, or anger
For many women of color, freeze becomes a default after too much for too long—too much pressure, too much invisibility, too much holding without being held.
Freeze Isn’t Failure—It’s a Signal That You Need Safety
Freeze is not laziness.
It’s not apathy.
It’s not personal weakness.
It’s your nervous system saying: I had no other option.
When you were expected to stay silent…
When stillness felt safer than speaking…
When the world asked too much and gave too little…
Freeze became a form of protection.
But now, you’re allowed to thaw.
To feel.
To come back to yourself—gently, slowly, and with care.
