Brief Note :
Fear is a series of physiological and chemical responses to a real or perceived danger. If we didn’t have this ability to sense and react immediately to danger we wouldn’t survive.
When one of our senses, be it sight, smell, hearing, touch or even taste warns us that something is wrong, this system for self-preservation engages and we take action to avoid danger or death.
Fear begins with a stimulus that’s transmitted to the brain. How we respond to these warnings can be automatic or a series of communications that lead to action or thought. You may walk down a dark street and hear footsteps behind you. Your internal alarm goes off. Your heart rate increases as well as you respiratory rate.
