When someone gets scared, they either fight (defend themselves), flight (run), or freeze (go limp). You are automatically programmed to do one of these things for each traumatic event. Sexual assault, rape, fights, mugging, etc. You are unable to do ANY OTHER THING. You are physically not able to fight if your brain isn’t programmed that way. Which proves once more, even if you didn’t fight. It isn’t your fault.
This makes sense now.
