Why I teach my clients to “shake it off“
Imagine you are walking through the woods and come across a bear. Immediately, your body recognizes this as potential threat and activates the nervous system, releasing a rush of stress hormones, cortisol and epinephrine (adrenalin). These hormones are what give us extra strength, energy, focus and speed to keep ourselves safe from the threat. The heart pounds faster, muscles tighten, blood pressure rises, breath quickens, and senses become sharper as the body prepares to defend/ protect itself against the threat. This is the fight /flight response. This is natural and good when facing a physical threat because it is self-protective.
After the bear walks away and the threat is gone, the body seeks to regain a sense of calm. You may notice your body starts to shake. This is an involuntary response that moves the stress hormones from the nervous system so they can be processed and expelled from the body. Slowly, the shaking decreases and the body begins to return to its homeostatic state. Involuntary shaking is most common following sudden, high intensity events such as encountering the bear, a car accident (or near miss), assaults, etc.
