The freeze response

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Examples of responses or signs as mentioned above are common symptoms of the freeze response as one of the post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Two other important things are the fight or the flight response.

In general, some signs of identification of the freeze response are as follows:

  • Freezing up or being unable to move or respond physically.
  • Pale and numb skin.
  • Limitations or obstacles in breathing.
  • Palpitations or even a decrease in heart rate are accompanied by fear of threats during a traumatic event.
  • The biggest physical response from freezing is feeling paralyzed or feeling like you are coming out of your body (dissociation).

Freezing responses arise when there is no hope to fight or escape from dangerous situations. This natural response can sometimes be observed in some animals that "play dead" instead of running or fighting.

This is different from the fight or flight response which has one thing in common, namely hope. In a fight or flight response, there is hope that you might get out of danger and return you to your normal state.

<u>ANSWER:</u>

Freezing up or being unable to move or respond physically during a traumatic event is an example of trauma induced paralysis.

<u>EXPLANATION:</u>

  • This happens when the person is so frightened that he or she does not want to react in any manner.
  • In such situations, a person has no time to either respond or flee which are the two mechanisms of responding to a stimulus or an unexpected event.
  • In such cases, the brain freezes all the attention systems of the body and does not allow the body to react in any manner.
