The freeze response (of your nervous system)

All this snow here on the East Coast, and I'm thinking about the freeze (nervous system) response (when we neurocept danger).

The fascinating thing about this response is that it is a combination of a parasympathetic and sympathetic nervous system response.

Here is a great video to help you understand this (and other things about Polyvagal theory).
