February 4, 2025: Chronic stress has left millions stuck in survival mode, but today marks the release of a transformative guide to help. The Functional Freeze Formula, authored by award-winning Wellbeing Coach Petra Brunnbauer, is now available to provide a holistic path to understanding and managing Functional Freeze.

Functional Freeze is a silent struggle. Many face a state where individuals outwardly function but feel disconnected, emotionally numb, and overwhelmed. In her groundbreaking book, Brunnbauer shines a light on this often-overlooked experience and shares practical strategies for breaking free.

 

“I’ve lived through Functional Freeze and I know how isolating and exhausting it can feel”, says Brunnbauer. “This book is my way of saying, ‘You’re not alone, and there’s a way out’”.

 

In The Functional Freeze Formula, readers will find:


  • An accessible explanation of Functional Freeze and its effects on the mind and body.

  • Practical tools to regulate the nervous system and shift out of survival mode.

  • A compassionate framework for rebuilding energy, focus, and emotional connection.

 

Grounded in neuroscience and presented with heart-centered wisdom, this book offers actionable solutions for anyone feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or running on empty.

 

The Functional Freeze Formula is now available in digital and print formats. Purchase your copy by clicking here.
