But what if you were never abused? I wasn't (and yes, I am sure.). I don't have PTSD. And I don't ever remember "freezing" as a child, nor do I technically disassociate. It's more about feeling so overwhelmed by things that I freeze and don't/can't do ANYTHING instead of EVERYTHING I need to be doing. Mine is more about just anxiety.
