By Patty Bell, Interventionist, Capo by the Sea We all know what it feels like to experience fear. When we experience a highly stressful situation or a frightening event, our body automatically shifts into the fight-or-flight response. We might feel flushed, nervous, and a sense of dread. We might experience sweating, a racing heart, shallow breathing, and lightheadedness. For those who suffer with an anxiety disorder, these types of symptoms can be a daily occurrence.
