The fight-flight-freeze stress response is the biological foundation of many brain computer interface presentations. Understanding it demystifies brain computer interface and points toward effective interventions.
The Three Stress Responses in Brain Computer Interface
Fight: Anger, aggression, irritability — brain computer interface channeled outward
Flight: Avoidance, escape, withdrawal — the most common brain computer interface behavioral pattern
Freeze: Paralysis, numbness, shutdown — depression and dissociation-type brain computer interface
How Chronic Activation Drives Brain Computer Interface
When the stress response activates repeatedly or doesn't turn off, it creates the chronic physiological state underlying brain computer interface: elevated cortisol, dysregulated neurotransmitters, disrupted sleep.
Working With Your Stress Response in Brain Computer Interface
- Name it: 'My nervous system is in fight/flight/freeze right now'
- Move: Physical movement discharges the mobilization energy of fight/flight
- Breathe: Activates the off-switch for the stress response
- Connect: Safe social engagement signals to the nervous system that the threat has passed
