Helplessness in trauma is often called learned helplessness, and it is a conditioned psychological response. The freeze response is a non-conditioned, but an automatic bodily response, when fight/flight are not an option.

Yes. Me too now that I look at this again. Both can be broken, as I have seen in my experiences. One is just more primal than the other.

I would refer you to the article posted on this section on how memories hide in the brain. It's listed below this thread and I read it yesterday.
