@emilyt_therapy: If you froze, your body was trying to protect you. When escape isn’t possible, the nervous system can shift into freeze and release chemicals that blunt pain and sensation to help you survive overwhelming trauma, including SA. Freeze is a survival response. Not a choice. Not consent. 💔❤️🩹 ————————————————————— #traumahealing #complexptsd #abuserecovery #traumatok #traumaresponse
My therapist explained fawning and made me change how I thought about him and everything he did

I’m a male CSA survivor. Later in life I was groomed and SA’ed by army gang stalkers at Woodford Correctional Centre in Queensland Australia. There is no violence like government sanctioned violence! Shame on you Australia!!!!

This sucks and u wish we would start calling it what it is which is basically necrophilia. Hell maybe they would think twice about it if we called it that. Because basically in the freeze state you are a dead person

I’ve tried to make it make sense for years after freezing several times during a traumatic time in my life. This makes so much sense, now, hearing why and how it works. Thank you 💜💜

I think there have also been studies about people who have experienced SA more than once (as in maybe childhood trauma and then years later a separate incident) are more likely to freeze/fawn because of learned helplessness, dissociation, many factors
