Can exiled parts be in a freeze state?

When a part is exiled, can that part also be in a freeze state?

Consider a part that cares about something, but isn't taking any action regarding that concern. Even emotional processing about the concern is somewhat blocked. The part seems exiled because it is hidden. Maybe it is hidden because it is in a freeze state.

This is something I've noticed from the very first time I used drugs. On drugs I felt more like a person and like my body is me. That can feel a lot more right than my usual focus on my mind, and ideas and particular concerns.

I preferred psychedelics and DXM. Though, this effect could be seen with practically every drug, at least while it was relatively new to me. Low doses of DXM had the most persistent and repeatable desirable effect in this sense. Cannabis and psychedelics also has a very powerful effect, but sometimes that led to getting stuck on some unpleasant feeling and ending up focused on a train of thought that arises from it.

I wonder if getting this embodiment effect from drugs is unusual and indicative that my usual state is somehow dissociated due to trauma?

I also wonder if this embodiment effect is somehow useful and potentially healing? Drug experiences, including psychedelics, in general only left me with analytical observations, and only memories of glimpses of feelings. I wonder if somehow working with the embodiment aspects is more useful?
