Do you feel emotionally shut down, chronically detached, or unsure how to truly feel again?
Emotional pain doesn't disappear-it freezes. Buried beneath layers of survival strategies, these frozen feelings are unresolved emotional imprints from childhood that can be re-experienced as if they're happening in the present. They often surface in the form of anxiety, depression, addiction, or dysfunctional relationship patterns. But healing is possible-and it begins by thawing what's been locked inside.
Thaw - Freedom from Frozen Feelings is a compassionate, trauma-informed guide to emotional healing through Inner Child work, ego-state therapy, and practical self-discovery. Written by Don Carter, MSW, LCSW-author, therapist, and creator of the Thawing the Iceberg Series-this book explores how childhood attachment wounds, emotional neglect, and family dynamics shape the survival roles we carry into adulthood.
