> what is hte normal adult way to react to really frightening circumstances like being kidnapped...
Is "normal" the same as "adult"?
Here is my claim of the day: being kidnapped is not necessarily "frightening". Or at least, not necessarily overwhelmingly frightening. One could in theory deal with it with maximal effectiveness, and not be totally disabled with fear.
