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.
