Stage 2 Ð Intensification or Recovery
The Òfight or flightÓ response takes a lot out
of you. Luckily it doesnÕt last forever. You
may realize almost immediately that the
threat was not really a threat at all, or you
may use the energy that your body that has
gathered for action to actually run, hit or lift
a car off the person trapped underneath.
Then the body reverts to a normal or even
more relaxed state, and recovery takes place.
