Freezing is how I have always reacted in sexual assault situations. It has been one of my the biggest guilts I carry along with me. Until I very recently talked about it with my therapist. I'm not sure knowing about it or why it works helps me but I think what helps me is knowing that this isn't just something I do. This isn't me being complicit in my own destruction. Thank you for writing this! Keep writing, I love reading from you xx
Thank you for your comment. I just want to let you know that whether you fight like a tiger, run like a gazelle or freeze like a doe, it is never ever your fault or responsibility for being made to feel unsafe.
