When a Client Is Stuck in the Freeze Response with Peter Levine, PhD

What triggers the freeze response? We tend to think of traumatic events, but according to Peter Levine, PhD, that’s not always the case. Even a perceived threat can be enough for a client to get stuck in a frozen state. So how can we help clients who are stuck in the freeze response to move forward? According to Peter, the energy that is “locked up” in a client’s frozen state is the exact energy we need to target to help them find a release.
