The "Fight or Flight" Response

The “fight or flight” response is one of the ways our body tries to protect us from danger. When we feel threatened, our body automatically triggers this response - which causes us to either “fight” and confront the situation, or “flight” and run away from the threat. In the resource below, you can learn more about how the "fight or flight" response occurs, and ways of coping through it.
