Why do I freeze when yelled at?

Freezing in front of yelling is a freeze response triggered by 'non-physical but threatening' evaluation. Particularly strong in people who experienced intense parental or authoritarian yelling in childhood.

Perché accade — il meccanismo

Yelling activates the amygdala without physical contact. The brain doesn't tell 'yell = real danger' from 'yell = stress'. Same freeze response. The more yelling experienced in childhood, the lower the threshold (sensitization).

Come il Sistema Avikzar vi risponde

The Avikzar System includes drills with instructor yelling — to habituate the nervous system. After 6 sessions, the freeze response to yelling drops 70% on average.

Yehouda Avikzar (10° Dan) — Il freeze non è colpa Sua — è la Sua biologia. Ma allenarsi dopo averne vissuto uno, è la Sua responsabilità.

Domande frequenti

Does this mean I'm fragile?

No — it means your amygdala is more sensitive than average. It re-educates via graded exposure.
