Document Summary
Stress portrait of a killer questions and answers. Their stress response is over when the threat is gone. We have the same stress response over non-life-threatening situations. This response tends to be continuous and we have trouble knowing how to turn it off. We end up wallowing in a corrosive bath of hormones that cause our heart to beat faster, muscles to tense, internal organs to slow down, etc When you run for your life, basics are all that matter, lungs work overtime to pump mammoth quantities of oxygen into the blood stream. You need blood pressure up to deliver that energy. You need to turn off everything that is nonessential.
