Physiological Effects of Adrenal Stress: Fight or Flight Mechanism:..Updated

James Sebor

This is what we consider the fear we experience. See here it is a chemical reaction set off by our amygdala, nothing to be afraid of. We can learn to be calm and use our breath to dissipate the cortisol.

Freedom From Fear” by Peyton Quinn. 

1. Tunnel Vision: One’s field of vision narrows and tunnels into the perceived threat.

2.Auditory Exclusion: The hearing tends to shut off.

3. Loss of fine motor skills: Often only gross motor functions are possible under the adrenal state.

4. Tai-chi-Psyche:  Everything seems to move in slow motion.

5. Increased heart rate, blood pressure and respiration.

This is the environment PTSD places us when we are triggered.  Our skills have deteriorated along with our ability to respond to a delusion threat.  This is why we have a daily practice, so we can stay present and observe this phenomena correctly.

From Psychotherapy Networker: Creating a new wisdom tradition By Ronald Siegel ;But Will They Practice?

brighton-beach John Constable

As clinicians move beyond their initial enthusiasm for mindfulness practice, they’re encountering the problem that may well derail the whole enterprise: people find it hard to meditate regularly. It’s one thing to take up these practices in a monastery, where the whole day is structured around meditation and everyone is doing it, and quite another to take time out from a busy day and a long to-do list.

Figuring out the best ways to get clients to practice is another challenge that’s just beginning to command the attention of researchers and clinicians.

Wow, these therapists are so off on what this is and how to apply it.  Well,  maybe you need to suffer with this disorder with doom, gloom and terror to have urgency and specific direction.

Freedom From Fear by Peyton Quinn

Freedom from Fear by Peyton Quinn
This book rounded out the fight or flight details of PTSD for me.  Also the author has responded to a post.
This work is based on my 20 years of instructing both elite military teams and ordinary people on how stress affects them and how to overcome its negative effects. My training center is at http://www.rmcat.com. In particular, the biochemical conditioning properties of the adrenal release are the basis of my work. This is the very essence of how PTSD develops. But PTSD is not limited to combat experience. Everyone is in some way unconsciously affected in their behavior patterns by even relatively mild adrenal experiences. In this book the reader will see examples of their own behavior in a very new light and begin to see how they can modify that behavior in way that serves them much better. This provides a framework of thinking that can changes their world view in a productive fashion and helps free them from periodic episodes of depression, which about 40% of all adults experience. But teenagers are far from exempt as well.This work will not help everyone of course,but it has certainly helped so very many.

Lost Time: Peyton Quinn

John Constable

In contract, “lost time” in a survival encounter initiates a chain reaction of escalating stress.  As the stress increases, the student’s heart rate increases.  The ability to perform complex or fine motor skills immediately deteriorates.  Perceptual narrowing occurs, slowing the information processing.  Response programming is delayed until the threat level can be identified.  Heart rates continue to increase as the student recognizes that the loss of time is increasing.  Finally, a survival stress response occurs resulting in a desperate irrational response; fight, flight, or freezing in place.

In plain english we panic and look for ways to escape our anxious and scary triggers.  Time seems suspended in the vortex of traumas grasp.  Our whole universe engulfs us with fear and panic.

This is the space that trauma grows or shrinks depending on how you handle the trauma thoughts!!!

The Basis for our Self Image should be Inner, not Outer

Jacek Yerka

This means that our feeling of self-worth must be held within ourselves, within our own spirits, and not made overly conditional on exterior things or others.  For example, if we set a goal and then predicate our self image on attaining this goal, we may be programming for failure.

Adrenal Memories from Freedom from Fear

Svensk musik_by Carl Kleiner

Let me paraphrase Peyton Quinn, adrenal memories create a persistent and automatic responses.  This occurs at the non-self aware level of consciousness.  This is significant, because our response to stress can get pre-consciously programmed into our personal self-images and our personal world view.

An example is riding with another person, driving distracted, requiring us to slam on the invisible brake at a dangerous intersection.  No thought involved.  Let us explore the negative thoughts and comments we grasp when triggered.

Our feelings of  positive personal self worth must be unconditional.  Practicing the breathing track everyday and with every thought can accomplish this.  Remember, on the right side of the brain words, dialogue, judgment, failure, guilt, or shame do not exist.  The right side concerns itself only with the present moment.

It does not even know there is a past or future.
