PART 1 OF 2:Our nervous system doesn't ask for permission - it takes over before we even know what's happening. In this two-part episode, Lora and Jeff discuss the fight or flight response, and how our nervous system reacts to everyday threats as if they're life-or-death situations. We explore how cultural conditioning can shape our responses to anger, anxiety, and fear and why recognizing emotions as signals - rather than actions - is key to reclaiming agency over our emotions. We explore:- Why the fight or flight response kicks in before logic has a chance- How our bodies react to modern-day stressors as if they're predators- The role of felt sense and somatics in recognizing emotional cues- How cultural conditioning rewards anxiety-driven behaviors- Why anger is an emotion, not an action - and how to hold space for it- Tools for metabolizing fear and anger in a healthy wayOur adventurer finds himself battling a threat that turns out to be no threat at all. Thrown into the water, his survival brain takes over. But when he finally surfaces, it's not a predator at all - just a curious whale passing by. The danger had never been real, but his body didn't wait to find out.
