The Fight/Flight Response
The following presentation shows how we humans AUTOMATICALLY respond to perceived danger. It also demonstrates how this built-in response can also sometimes happen by mistake, causing what we refer to here as a 'panic attack'.
We hope that the presentation you have just watched will help to explain that panic attacks are real, but are simply triggered by a 'false alarm'.
A panic attack is when the Fight/Flight Response kicks in - even though there is no REAL danger/threat present. It is a false alarm.
