Episode notes

When your body detects danger, it immediately sends a distress signal to the hypothalamus. Once this alarm has been sounded, the sympathetic nervous system starts to pump out adrenaline. This can actually trigger a panic attack in some people. When you feel like you're going to die, how long does it take for those hormones to calm down? Because I think then we can start to understand or make a plan with the awareness of being like, okay, I've been triggered,. Let's do something different during that period, rather than go and burn down the house.
