Reading People Signals

Learn to recognize the 'freeze' response, a primitive survival instinct that causes sudden stillness in the face of a perceived threat. This attentive immobility is not passivity, but a high-alert state triggered by the nervous system.

It can transform how you interpret silence and navigate challenging interactions.
