The flight response is a stress response by your body to ultimately protect your body and an automatic survival instinct.

One thing to remember is that while the flight response happens automatically, that does not mean that it is always accurate. Sometimes we respond in this way even when there is no real threat.]]> 2018-06-21 11:11:16 UTC https://padlet.com/sean_macdonald/cwels8qoi7p0/wish/268085926 sean_macdonald https://padlet.com/sean_macdonald/cwels8qoi7p0/wish/268086992 2018-06-21 11:21:39 UTC https://padlet.com/sean_macdonald/cwels8qoi7p0/wish/268086992 oliwia_galka https://padlet.com/sean_macdonald/cwels8qoi7p0/wish/268087214 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mtRrxNTnyh8

A person who is terrified of heights might begin to experience the acute stress response when he has to go the top floor of a skyscraper to attend a meeting. His body might go on high alert as his heartbeat and respiration rate increase. When this response becomes severe, it may even lead to a panic attack.]]> 2018-06-21 11:29:10 UTC https://padlet.com/sean_macdonald/cwels8qoi7p0/wish/268087870 charlotte_lafford https://padlet.com/sean_macdonald/cwels8qoi7p0/wish/268088254 The flight or fight response, also called the "acute stress response" was first described by Walter Cannon in the 1920s as a theory that animals react to threats with a general discharge of the sympathetic nervous system.]]> 2018-06-21 11:32:48 UTC https://padlet.com/sean_macdonald/cwels8qoi7p0/wish/268088254
