Episode Synopsis

As well as being something physical, threats can also be intrusive or repressed thoughts and emotions. These are processed in the brain in the same way as a physical threat and are a bigger problem because we can’t escape their consciousness. The body’s response to stress chemicals and inflammation is the same whether the source of the threat is mental or physical. If the threat is sustained, ongoing exposure to this inflammatory reaction destroys tissues and causes chronic disease.
