Thanks for the article. |
You're very much welcome!  Glad you found it useful as well. The fight response was my default response for many years, it still takes a lot of work to control it. If somebody yells at me I get really triggered by it, I used to always respond to this feeling with anger. I would rage and get up in their face and scream or break stuff or hurt them. Sometimes hurting them would bring me a sense of joy but then I would just get even more anxiety about possible retaliation. Still to this day the only time I feel safe after a fight response has been triggered is hyper-vigilant with a weapon pointed at the door. Even if I didn't do anything violent, then if nothing happens I'll get really emotional and hyperventilate.
