UNFREEZING the Freeze Response || FACEBOOK LIVE Q&A EPISODE || with Irene Lyon

This is another one of my Facebook Live Q&A's that I do regularly in my Healthy Nervous System Revolution Facebook Group. If you'd like to join, head over: https://www.facebook.com/groups/nervoussystem/

I answer A LOT of great questions in this episode and I've decided to post those questions here so you can see the depth of questions:

IF YOU WANT TO SKIP MY INTRO AND SOME BASICS AROUND THE NERVOUS SYSTEM YOU CAN FAST FORWARD TO 8:48 MINUTE MARK .

1 - HI Irene, I wonder if you can explain what maintain one in a state of freeze and why Peter Levine recommend the importance to "unfreeze" slowly .. Thank you.

2 - My question: how can we regulate our nervous system so that we don't get an automatic fight or flight response when thinking of a person that we had a stressful or intense event(either good or bad) with? Or what can we do at that moment when replaying stressful/exciting events with someone in our mind that cause us anxiety? (I get a feeling of my 'stomach dropping' or nervous butterflies whenever I think of or interact with a few people in my life. I've tried so much to try to avoid these stress responses to certain people I need/want to interact with. Instead I have chosen to avoid these people in order to avoid the anxiety but I don't want to live a life of seclusion in order to protect my nervous system. Social anxiety is my biggest anxiety)

3 - This question might reach back a bit to your past life as a physical/rehab pro and patient, but I would like to know your thoughts on whether it's possible to have basically well-regulated global nervous system but have local freeze in previously injured areas. I have found some trapped movement patterns and vague emotions come up when I manage to activate it a little but they are so non-specific, it is not like some other somatic trauma work I have done. Very interested to hear any thoughts you have in this area. Thanks!!!

4 - I'm just trying to work out how you unfreeze without triggering massive flashbacks and past traumas?

5 - Can you talk about who your programs is for and if they would benefit someone with a borderline personality disorder ( attachment and developmental trauma )

6 - Can you also talk about your programs and if they have helped those living with Epilepsy and your personal thoughts in your years of experiences?

7- Hi! Can you please explain the difference from fear, terror and shock, and how they affect one's life and view of the world, if they have memories of fear/terror/shock (from early childhood). What happens when one hasn't felt loved and protected in the womb? What are the consequences of a mother who is not able to self-regulate?

8 - I would like to hear your thoughts and clinical experiences about the psoas muscle. I have read that it is one of the largest muscles in the body and it is a place where we often store stress and trauma. And the muscle that is most central to our fight/flight response is the psoas. Is that also your experience or is it too simple? How is that? And how is the psoas muscle different from the Vargas nerve when it comes to storing stress/ trauma?
