I have read (Van Der Kolk or Levine) that for people who have the fight or flight response triggered and they can't act, the third choice is freezing. And for folks who are traumatized a lot as little kids, the freeze response is quite common when triggered. So yeah, definitely happens. It might be interesting to see if you can identify the trigger.
Thanks for this!
