Harboring resentment against others is just as real to your body as a dangerous situation and can invoke a fight or flight response. The video explores the fight or flight response in humans. Viewers see what is happening inside the body of someone who just dodged being hit by a car. The instructor then explains the role of epinephrine or adrenaline in instances of fight or flight.
