The shaking hands ten minutes after the near-miss aren't a malfunction-they're your body trying to finish a
cycle you interrupted by going straight back to normal, and most of what determines whether you carry that
activation for hours or release it in minutes depends on whether you know how to let the response complete.

- The Exam Room Bind: The cruelty of a fear response triggered by a clinician's half-beat pause, when the
setting prohibits any physical outlet and...
