A majority of victims “freeze” in response to sexual assault. I spent over a year trying to understand what this means and why we are failing victims by not understanding it. In this week’s cover story for @NYTmag #ifroze#metoonytimes.com/2023/08/22/mag…
I gave this brief (14 min) talk at Bessel van der Kolk’s trauma conference in May 2022, but these risks and responsibilities will always be with us. youtu.be/31QbKuWDeUA
