Welcome to The Experiential Podcast, a deep dive into the fascinating and profound journey of being human. Hosted by Nicole Lohse, whose lifelong fascination with the human experience drives this exploration, this podcast invites listeners to reconnect with their internal and collective wisdom. In a world where we often feel disconnected, lost, and constrained by patterns and conditioning, Nicole reminds us that we are adaptable and that through tuning in, exploring our experiences, and integrating the parts of ourselves that feel stuck, we can rediscover our true essence. With each episode, Nicole guides us through the process of recognizing and disentangling from our conditioning, listening to our instincts and intuition, and reclaiming our agency and choice. While acknowledging that the journey isn't easy and that we may still find ourselves caught in old patterns, Nicole assures us that there's nothing inherently wrong with us. Through spaciousness, grace, and a newfound ability to pause and bring awareness to our experiences, The Experiential Podcast offers a path toward reconnecting with ourselves, each other, and the planet...

episode 5: The Journey With Freeze | 005
In this episode I am joined by some of my clients and program participants to discuss our journey with freeze. We share what it was like to begin to recognize that we were living in freeze and how our explorations and relationship to ourselves and our survival patterns continue to evolve over time. You’ll notice that the common theme is that we’re all still navigating aspects of freeze! The key lies in noticing how we’re feeling towards these ways we’re showing up because this is where we often get caught thinking there’s something wrong with us, we spiral into trying to find the ways to fix and change what’s happening when all that’s doing is creating conflict for our reasons for freezing! The importance lies in learning how to create space and witness ourselves in these experiences while being curious about what’s at the core of it all and what else may become possible.
My hope in this episode is that you gain more of an awareness of your own experience of freeze and the kinds of survival patterns you find yourself in due to having to disconnect, numb, dissociate and shut down..
I’d love to know what pieces in this you can relate to and what’s helpful! Feel free to share with me on social media.
