Abstract
In this systematic review, we investigated the freeze response and its potential relationship to post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms. The freeze response can be explained as the reaction that occurs during trauma exposure, which is characterised by temporary immobility. Tonic immobility (TI) and collapsed immobility (CI) have been identified as more prolonged states of immobility. A literature search across PsycINFO, PubMed, and Web of Science resulted in ten studies that were included in this review. The included studies investigated the link between freezing and PTSD symptom severity. The majority found a positive relationship between these two factors. This review sheds light on the possible mechanisms that underlie the relationship.
