What Is the "Flight or Fight" Response?
The "flight or fight" response is an instinctive reaction in your body's survival system. When you are scared, anxious, or in a stressful situation, the body sends "fight or flight" hormones to help get you through the situation. Therefore, when you see a threat in a trauma situation, your brain automatically releases adrenaline and cortisol. These hormones are what help you think logically to respond to danger. However, when stress is overwhelming, these hormones can inhibit your ability to respond to triggers and disrupt normal thought processes.
