1.4 (B) Two Sides of the Fight or FlightTwo Sides of the "Flight or Fight" Response: In my opinion, there are two sides of the “fight or flight” responses. 1. One is to keep us safe from a “material danger”. An example would be something like a tiger or a person chasing you. It’s a physical entity. The threat is something that lives and is in our presence. 2. The other side of “fight or flight” response, is when we present a “danger in the mind”. This can also kick in the fight or flight response, and in a couple of ways: a. One way, is when we create enough negative thoughts about a situation that our fears come into play. The mind will recognize that negativity as a danger, especially if we allow ourselves to get so emotionally wrapped up in it. It could trigger the fight or flight response to protect us. b. Another way, is when our mind recalls a feeling or familiar sensation from a negative experience in our past. If we are emotionally attached to that past experience, our mind can think we are in danger again, just as before, and kick in the fight or flight response to protect us. |
