Fear — Why You Freeze, Flee or Fight

Fear is your body’s most primal alarm system. It heightens awareness and prepares the body to act—fast. The body’s reactions are controlled by the amygdala, which activates the fight-flight-freeze response.

- Chest: Tight, heart racing
- Limbs: Ready to move, shaking
- Skin: Goosebumps, sweating
- Belly: Churned with adrenaline
But what if your body prepares not for defense—but for attack?
