What is it?
Executive dysfunction is a struggle with the brain's control center for planning and starting tasks. Functional freeze is a survival mode where your nervous system shuts down to protect you from too much stress.
Signs & Symptoms
Why does this happen?
The prefrontal cortex handles your to-do list, but it needs dopamine to stay powered up. When tasks feel too scary, your amygdala takes over. It triggers a freeze response because your brain thinks your stress is a physical threat.
