Threat response

Threat response is the body’s natural way of reacting when it perceives danger. It involves a series of automatic reactions designed to protect us, often called the "fight-or-flight" response. When a threat is detected, hormonal changes trigger increased alertness, faster heartbeat, and energy release, preparing you to confront or escape from the danger. This response is controlled by the nervous system and can be triggered by physical threats or perceived risks. Understanding threat responses helps us manage stress and build resilience, recognizing that these reactions are natural biological processes aimed at ensuring our safety.
