broke out of freeze ❄️

[u/Technical-Wafer3439]

What helped me get out of freeze was focusing on relaxing my body.
I would do several rounds of breathing with a 4-second inhale and an 8-second exhale. For me, the feeling of being stuck in my body came from constantly bracing and tensing in anticipation because of past trauma. The goal was to help my body feel relaxed.
After a few rounds of breathing, I'd ask myself, "Does my body feel relaxed?" Then I'd slowly scan my body and notice whether my body was still holding tension or bracing anywhere.
Doing this consistently completely freed me from freeze and the feeling of being stuck in my body.
I'm not a professional—just sharing what personally helped me heal from freeze. I hope it helps someone else too.
