The Alarm Anxiety Cycle

The stress in our system causes our bodies to secrete cortisol and epinephrine, adrenaline. And then that creates a physiological state of alarm in our body. Everyone has this sort of fight or flight reaction of the autonomic nervous system. But if you have old trauma, like I did, there's also a sense of background alarm as well. So we get into this alarm anxiety cycle that I've talked about before.
