January 30, 2025, Chronic stress is silently influencing the lives of millions, keeping individuals in a state of survival mode known as Functional Freeze. On February 4, 2025, Petra Brunnbauer will release her groundbreaking book, The Functional Freeze Formula™, offering a science-backed guide to better understand and manage this invisible challenge.
Functional Freeze occurs when chronic stress overwhelms the nervous system, leaving individuals feeling disconnected, numb, and stuck yet still outwardly functioning. This state of survival can impact relationships, careers, and overall well-being, often going unnoticed.
Award-winning Wellbeing Coach Petra Brunnbauer brings a compassionate and practical perspective to this issue, informed by her expertise in psychology, mental health, and holistic healing approaches. Her new book equips readers with:
An in-depth understanding of why Functional Freeze occurs.
Practical tools to regulate the nervous system.
Step-by-step guidance to regain energy, focus, and connection.
“Functional Freeze can trap you in a survival state that feels impossible to escape,” says Brunnbauer. “This book is about giving readers actionable strategies and the practical knowledge to go beyond just functioning and start truly thriving.”
For anyone feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or chronically exhausted, The Functional Freeze Formula offers real solutions and proven techniques to navigate chronic stress and break free from Functional Freeze.
The book will be available for purchase on February 4, 2025. To learn more, visit here.
