There are two types of siblings and dysfunctional families, those who break the cycle and those who repeat it.

My name is Andrea and this is adult child.

Welcome back to adult child where we take a deep dive into the impact of growing up in a dysfunctional family.

Ahoy, my dear, shitchance, it's been a while since I've done that. For any new listeners, my name is

Andrea. I am a total and complete shit show. I am an adult child of an alcoholic and dysfunctional

family. I am a recovering alcoholic myself. I'm a recovering candy crush addict. For real. I just want to let you guys

know that I just released the first video of a series of YouTube videos that I'm doing. The series is

called The Many Faces of Functional Freeze. And this first face that we are exploring is my face, my breed of functional freeze,

which is the stuck and shame-filled overthinker.

And I got to say, there's very little content out there specifically talking to this as it relates

to functional freeze. I remember Googling functional freeze and procrastination and finding

very little out there about it. So I'm really hoping that this can reach a lot of people. Because I

want to be honest, I think that there is like a functional freeze epidemic out

there.

I think a shitload of people are in functional freeze and have no damn clue that they are.

So go see this video.

You can find a link to it in the show notes.

And if you can relate, you got to hop on this breathe to heal workshop, this six-week somatic breathwork course

that is being facilitated by fellow shit show member, Teresa, who is a somatic and breathwork practitioner.

If you are relating to this stuck and shame-filled overthinker face of functional freeze,

this is what has helped me to thaw out breathwork, somatic work.

This is at a steal of a price.
