I capture a mouth full of air by puffing out my cheeks, and then release it all at once making a explosion sound as I take a step. This helps me get unstuck.

I have found that placing my attention on pushing off on the rear foot makes walking easier, with less freezing.

I have a way of unfreezing: I take in breath and make the sound “tchew!” and take a step. Sometimes, I repeat the sound with a few steps to get started walking.
I have also found that moving my attention to the pad of the foot that is pushing off behind me makes walking easier.
