112 - Healing depression via the Nervous System

Are you tired, lethargic, exhausted and depressed, or is your nervous system really saying *no*? Did you know your nervous system can shut down when it comes into contact with ‘too much, too fast, or too soon’ or ‘too little, for not long enough’?

This week, join Louise as she asks Sarah Murphy, biology of trauma and nervous system expert - what is *really* going on when the body says no? Louise and Sarah discuss:

• What is freeze mode 
• How it’s connected to fight or flight but isn’t the same
• An overview of polyvagal theory (and where freeze mode fits into this)
• Signs / symptoms of freeze mode
• Causes of freeze mode (including trauma response, learned habits, childhood attachment, learned helpless, emotional invalidation, silence, stress and overwhelm)
• If it's possible to cycle between freeze and flight or flight
• The biological drain of freeze mode

Real talk, honest conversations, and stories that make you think—welcome to The Healing Honeys. Hit play and let’s get into it.
