Why do some people panic during an emergency and others don't?!
Question: Why do some people panic during an emergency and others don't!?
My son hit his nose on the trampoline yesterday and started screaming in pain!. My husband and I ran outside and the first thing I saw was his arm twisted underneath his body and a huge area of blood on his shoulder!. I immediately thought he had a major serious injury and was wondering if I should grab my cell phone to call 911!. Turns out he bumped his nose with his knee and the blood was from his nose!. His arm was just fine!. Well, apparently I was freaking out and practically running around in circles!. Afterwards my husband told me sternly that I should not panic and remain calm so I don't scare the kids!. Perfectly good advice, and I agreed wholeheartedly, but the problem is during a scary moment like that I feel like I have no control over my actions!. It happens so fast! I'm on auto-pilot and it feels a little like an out of body experience!. Why does this happen and is there a way to change your instinct to panic!?Www@Answer-Health@Com
