The fight or flight response is part of the autonomic nervous system. It exists to keep you alive. When the brain detects a threat, real or perceived, it triggers a cascade of physical changes. This response is incredibly effective in true emergencies. The problem arises when the brain begins to fire these alarms in situations that are not actually dangerous.
