CFAR has a class on handling your fight/flight/freeze reaction this Saturday Sept 28th.
The sympathetic nervous system activation that helps you tense up to take a punch or put on a burst of speed to outrun an unfriendly dog isn't quite so helpful when you're bracing to defend yourself against an intangible threat, like, say, admitting you need to change your mind.
Once of CFAR's instructors will walk participants through the biology of the fight/flight/freeze response and then run interactive practice on how to deliberately notice and adjust your response under pressure. The class is capped at 12, due to its interactive nature.
Would you be able to post a summary for people unable to attend? I find the topic very interesting, but habitually reside in a different continent,.
