FIGHT (Solve the Problem)
We resist the stress and attempt to change the situation
|
MAD
The emotion gives us extra energy to overcome obstacles, or fight invaders
|
“GET OUT OF MY SPACE”
We demand that others respect our rights. People who get all their energy from anger “get rid of” a lot of people in their lives
|
RUN (Avoid)
We attempt to withdraw from toxic elements in our life
|
AFRAID
Our senses are alerted. We feel alarm or disgust and move away from the cause
|
“I’LL GET OUT OF YOUR SPACE”
People who feel bad about their own worth often try to “get away” from people or situations that arouse anxiety
|
COPE (Accept the Situation)
We accept the loss or comply with the demand
|
SAD (Grief, hurt)
Our metabolism slows down, as we try to accept painful losses or disappointment. We are physically and mentally vulnerable
|
“COME INTO MY SPACE”
Others see our hurt and come toward us to give comfort and encouragement. This helps us to accept otherwise unbearable losses
