It occurs when a person is unable to process the intense emotions they are experiencing. This can happen for a variety of reasons, such as past traumas, stress, or anxiety. Emotional shutdowns can also be a sign of a deeper issue that needs to be addressed.Emotional Shutdown As A Self Defense Mechanism When you are feeling overwhelmed by emotion, or experiencing intense stress, there are two things that happen.First, your body experiences a change in blood pressure, heart rate, breathing, and other vital signs. Second, your brain releases hormones such as cortisol and adrenaline.These hormones help prepare you for action. However, these hormones can also make you feel more tired, anxious, and stressed.When you experience a lot of stress, your body responds by releasing excess amounts of cortisol and adrenaline.If you overreact to these hormones, your body may become exhausted and shut down.
For example, if you wake up early on a weekend morning and go straight to work without eating breakfast, you might become very hungry later on.Your body reacts by producing cortisol and adrenaline. You may not even realize how much energy you have until you start working. In addition, you may feel exhausted and need to take naps during the day.
