I, myself, have gone into "freeze" mode hundreds of times throughout my life, always as a result of fear that someone will harm me in some way.
The NBA player "freeze" is a result of either 1) MK-ULTRA programming glitching out or 2) an intentional effort by someone in the room to trigger his programming with a code word, symbol, or gesture. There are numerous videos of limelight characters going into this mode: Lady Gaga, Beyonce, Wendy Williams, Eminem, Al Roker, and very recently, Mitch McConnell. There are glitches other than freezing, such as passing out, uttering gibberish, and making bizarre gestures or actions.
My mother suffers terrible night terrors in which she always freezes up in these extreme situation where she fears being harmed. Ever since I was a little kid, I’d wake up because of this inhuman sound that comes out of her. It used to frighten me so, thinking she was in some extreme pain. It often sounded as if she was possessed. I’d wake her up and she would be so terribly relieved to be awaken. As if she was stuck paralysed in her dream without being able to do anything but witness herself being harmed. Since she lives with me, I’ve experienced this phenomenon with her my entire life and only recently have the night terrors appeared leas frequently. I think she has started to remember things from her childhood that she has expressed to me that she is finally able to release? I’ve never had a direction in which to go but something about the opossum behavior is resonating. And you even mentioned it in a comment the other day, but I didn’t really put two and two together until now. Thanks, Gary.
I will offer your mother therapy so she can settle down faster. I often help people with nightmares as they are "old traumas talking" to put it short.
If she is too old or unvilling to do so I can tell you about what is going on so you can help her. You have made this wonderful videos to gary so we will help you back.
Interesting, in my therapy with Lilian, we have just got to a where I would freeze at night due to terrors, feeling there is a monster in the room, and having to hide under the covers and hold my breath for fear of being detected. I did this from as early as I can remember to about age 24. Ii discovered the root of this in having long and frank conversations with my mum about my childhood.infanthood. Apparently my dad would sometimes get so frustrated at being kept awake at night by me as baby he would come into the room and shake me. So there really was a monster in the room.
I am thinking of the freeze response a lot - or anyway the sit in silence response - something I did a lot in early childhood, like sitting on the window ledge looking outside for a long time. I do a variation of this now - sitting in silence in the morning, thinking of the day ahead. Not really "thinking" - letting thoughts come. Not exactly the freeze response. But something allied.
well it is more the feeling in the body, that makes the difference. I just saw an article saying that we should be resting 40% of the day. So resting and freeze seems the same for the viewer, the difference in the body is enormously and that is why we have been fooled our whole life including doctors.
"Looking outside for a long time" and "Not really "thinking" - letting thoughts come", sounds heathy enough. This is here creativity is born. "What can I do if I am alone".. Mobilephones take away this important rest from us all.
I love this - resting 40% of the day - the way I rest doing dishes - unless I'm listening to a video - the way I'm resting when taking a walk. And yes, the "cellphone glue" gobbles up this rest time.
Voluntary stillness can be non-stress response too ... calm, relaxed, mediative. Freeze is involuntary, and life-sapping if held for too long, whereas as calm stillness gives health, restoration and growth.
Gary, my lovely brother-in-law was dx with Parkinson’s just over a year ago. He and my sister are staying active, aqua classes, boxing, tai chi, weights, walking. They both love to cook and eat well. I love my brother-in-law dearly. I want to reassure him, tell him everything will be alright. He has a loving family, still works a few days each week with younger men, who adore him and look after him, the older guy. Is there any one thing that I can do for him?
Sounds like he is doing all the right things. The one thing folks need is to break out from the nocebo effect [curse/pointing the bone/self-fulfilling prophecy] of the doctor's diagnosis ["you can only get worse"/neurodegeneration], in other words they need hope that they can better. Maybe suggest he follows Lilian's substack?

Make sense
Wow. Unbelievable. Some folks were/are not ready to be parents.

Tell him that dopamine is converting to adrenaline... so it is pushing more stress symptoms.

Will do. I am on my way to Chicago to visit family. I will see him then and mention Lillian’s substack. Many thanks for taking the time to reply💕
