why when you’re so scared you can’t move or talk?
In: 3
The body’s trauma response is categorized as:
Fight
Flight
Freeze
Fawn
When scared or shocked, the adrenaline dump triggers the sympathetic nervous system of the autonomic system. It’s a primitive response that (autonomic=automatic [roughly]) is a hold over from survival instinct. Some fight, some run, some hide, and some just freeze. No way of really telling who does what.
