Fight/Flight Response2:56
Some of us have heard of the “fight or flight” response. It basically says we all have an innate biological response to severe stress, whereby the nervous system is aroused and the body releases the hormone cortisol. This stress hormone helps us run faster or fight harder in life threatening situations. We experience increased heart rate and respiratory rate, perspiration, increased muscle tension and energy. This response is helpful for survival in threatening and traumatic events like being chased by a lion, fleeing violence in a war or escaping a burning car. However, today the problem with our fight or flight response is that: ·It can be triggered (at work, at home) even if the situation if not life threatening ·It has negative consequences on our health ·It interferes with our ability to perform and make good decisions ·Makes us ineffective at our work and leaves us accident prone ·It reduces our ability to interact positively with others and enjoy life An essential concept in stress management is that: We all need to look at ways to keep our fight or flight response under control to avoid negative health consequences and to prevent feelings of “burnout” in our personal and professional lives.
