00:00As soon as your brain senses you're in danger, a little piece of it kicks in.
00:04It's called the fight, flight, or freeze response.
00:07This reaction goes back millions of years.
00:10Our hearts beat faster and we breathe heavily, pulling more oxygen into our bodies.
00:14The muscles in our arms and legs tense up and fill with blood.
00:18Sometimes our minds go blank and we feel like we can't move or talk.
00:22There's nothing physically wrong with you.
00:24It's just your amygdala trying to tell you it thinks you're in danger.
