Quote:Are you saying that adrenaline comes from fear? This question is also directed at Shannon.
And no Ben it wasn't a trivial situation it was kinda intense. Didn't feel that cold feeling of fear but the racing feeling of adrenaline.
Well if it was a situation where there could be a potential fight or threat then adrenaline is normal. I learnt when I did security that I couldn't necessarily get rid of it, just learn to deal with it. But it does get better with experience.
At one point potentially violent situations felt so 'normal' that it was minimal, but I was still in an altered state and had some affects of it.
Looking back, getting to the point where I didn't bat an elelid going into these situations wasn't so good because I got complacent.
If it's a potentially dangerous situation it's most likely going to trigger it, but as I said if it's small situations triggering it then you may have too much fear due to your programming.
But what i'm talking about is most likely completely different than what you're talking about, as it was dealing with potentially violent people. But that was my experience.
Come to think of it, on AM I was able to deal with situations alot more calmly and assertively with less fear. So it definately did help for that. And also I was able to do the job alot more effectively as people would be more likely to listen to me, which also resulted in less situations going physical. Basically because I had that calm authority and was better in control of myself.
It kind of makes me miss AM. It did have some good things, but after 2 runs of AM6 I struggled with the thought of doing more. And I felt my deeper stuff like fear and such got in the way of the full expression.
