12 分钟So you're at an event and you're just about to talk to somebody and then out of nowhere, your whole body freezes.
You've completely lost what you're about to say and your whole body feels like it's completely shut down.
You cannot bring yourself to make the next step.
What do you do?
Now, by the end of this episode, you are going to know exactly what to say when your brain freezes.
And I'm going to help you understand why it's happening.
And I 'll give you social anxiety scripts to help you in any circumstance when you have felt
like you 've completely gone into freeze mode and you want to resume back into that conversation.
Hello, my name is Kimberly Quinlan.
I am an anxiety specialist and I am on a mission here at Your Anxiety Toolkit to help 10 million people
manage their anxiety with evidence-based skills.
It is terrifying out there on the internet to see some of the strategies I am seeing people give advice on.
And so this is what I do for a living.
It's my biggest mission to help.
As many people as I can suffer less from anxiety.
So many people are suffering from anxiety, and I'm here to hopefully help you along the way as well.
Now, first, we have to understand something really important.
When you freeze, it doesn't mean anything's wrong with you.
It is a normal human response to anxiety.
We go into something called the fight, flight, and freeze response.
