We have fight or flight responses more than we think. And the science shows that people who do not have anxiety disorders get triggered into flight or flight just as often as people who have anxiety disorders. In this episode learn exactly what triggers us to go into fight or flight in a technological world. Sarah and Jacob discuss the physical, cognitive and behavioral consequences to activating your sympathetic nervous system. As well as techniques you can use to soothe yourself when you are in flight or flight. Sarah and Jacob discuss the differences between fight or flight and retriggering your trauma and how they overlap.
