Hi. I have C-PTSD and have written on here about why I have it. In that article "Psychedelic Healing Saved Me From a Monster" I touch on the freeze response. It is a survival mechanism in animals and it's not learned helplessness. Learned helplessness is learned over time whereas the freeze response happens in an instant. Too many times of this with dissociation leads to problems down the road. I don't know if I'll ever be cured but I have learned to manage it well and I'm a very happy person. Take care :)
