In this article I will outline the various responses, before doing a deep dive into the “freeze response” including what exactly it is, how to recognise when we are freezing, and what we can do to pull ourselves out of it.
I am
translucent.
Wildly unprepared
for the light.
Everyone preaches self-love, but no-one seems to tell us how to practise it. In this article I want to talk about 5 simple, practical ways to do just that.
Wild-eyed,
bloody-fingered,
I gather slivers of me.
A thousand sharp shards
shining,
glinting malevolently
in the moonlight.
And when we collide
we split like atoms, destroying
worlds, and I am lost
to myself.
