7 Threats That Cause The Fight or Flight Response (Amygdala Hijack)

7 Threats That Cause The Fight or Flight Response (Amygdala Hijack)

An amygdala hijack is an emotional stress response. The amygdala activates the fight-or-flight response. This response can help you in immediate physical danger react quickly for safety and security. For example, the fight-or-flight response helped early humans respond to threats to avoid being injured or killed. The amygdala activates this fight-or-flight response without any initiative from you. When that part of your brain senses danger, it signals your brain to pump stress hormones, preparing your body to either fight for survival or flee to safety. Today, that fight-or-flight response is more likely to be triggered by emotions such as stress, fear, anxiety, aggression, and anger. So join Kathrine to help you identify the 7 Universal Threats That Cause Amygdala Hijack. (8 mins)

This learned attachment is then used for the rest of the individual’s life to connect to their family, friends, acquaintances, significant others, and even their future children.
