Normally there is this talk of "Fight or Flight" reaction. I have come to the notion that instead of a bi-polar reaction, we get to "choose" from the trinity Fight - Flight - Freeze. Ofcoarse these are no options, but escape routes we have, to overcome any given stressrelated situation. In overload we do what we can by intuition, learned behavior, narrowed possibility for accessing resourceful options.
This third mentioned option (Freeze) in the trinity Fight - Flight - Freeze is a result of total shutdown of conscious choosing. This results in a total blackout, or inability to move. I am sure you can imagine what it is like to feel like everything is frozen from fear. Freeze is not a state anywhere between Fight and Flight. Freeze has its own attributes, totally unrelated to Fight and Flight.
I therefore see the three as the trinity Fight - Flight - Freeze and will - in my testing - be further stated as a trinity. I hope to give you feedback as time goes by and stressrelated issues will be seen in this light.
