This document discusses how the limbic brain responds to threats through freezing behaviors. It provides examples of how interviewees may fix their feet behind a chair for a long time or breathe shallowly when feeling stressed. It also describes how shoplifters may hunch over or limit head exposure to try to hide in plain sight. Abused children also sometimes manifest these freezing responses like keeping their arms still and avoiding eye contact around abusive adults, as if attempting to hide.
