I also have a freeze response more often than the others. It is quite common. It is sometimes called a dorsal dive, when the body just shuts off. It can sometimes feel a bit like a dissociative mechanism. I don't have any advice except that I have found that meds do help and sleeping or doing the opposite like getting in touch with my body in some sort of real way brings me around to a calmer place.
