Uncover the Human

Laurie McElroy is back on the podcast to discuss misfiring of our one of our most primal instincts: the fight or flight response. Spawning in the amygdala, our fight or flight responses serve as lighting fast survival instincts...when we are faced with a lion, tiger, or bear. Today, we rarely come across these types of threats, but we still experience the surge of adrenaline and cortisol often. Laurie helps unpack what to do when we feel threatened, and what we gain when we can be aware of this reaction rather than carried away by it.  Episode Notes can be found at  uncoverthehuman.wearesiamo.com
