Many people refer to the stress response as 'fight or flight', but did you know that there are more options than just these two?
Fight or flight were the two basic options required by our
ancestors when faced with a hungry tiger or another immediate threat. You can’t
deal with this kind of situation by rationalising, planning or making
decisions, you just have to react.
The best actions are to run faster than the tiger and escape (flight), or to defend yourself and get a new tiger-skin coat (fight). However, these don’t cover every eventuality and the stress
response does allow for other options. These are freeze, faint and fidget.
