Throughout time, human beings bodies have adapted to feeling threatened; the natural chemical of Adrenaline surges through us, setting off the “fight or flight” mechanism, when presented with STRESS. This is actually a remarkable ability we have to protect ourselves, when faced with acute situations in which we feel endangered.  In this way we are able to cope until we no longer feel threatened, dealing with the uncomfortable and scary parts of our lives, without becoming paralyzed.
