Brain's reaction to stress

 When we feel threatened or when something traumatic is happens to us or the people we love, the Limbic and Reptilian areas of the brain activate our automatic survival strategies of fight, flight, freeze, appease and dissociate (FFFAD).


 fight (keep arguing or fighting), flight (revert to, and hide behind) ,freeze (disengage from the argument or fight by shutting up) or appease (make nice with your adversary by simply agreeing with him) or dissociate.
