3. Describe the bioreaction(s) (i.e., fight, flight, freeze, and appease) you experienced.
4. Describe the physical sensations (e.g., sweaty palms, tight muscles) you experienced in your
body when you became aware of the bioreaction(s).
5. Describe the feeling(s) you experienced in the social situation before, during, and after the

SOLUTION

Bioreactions comprise of unconscious and quick responses to stimuli, most of which are brought about by social interactions. Bioreactions can be categorized into various aspects which include flight, freeze, fight, as well as appease, and are geared towards enabling people to survive traumatic situations.

It was a normal day in the Emergency Room, and I had just reported at work. I had just finished taking vital signs from a patient when an ambulance arrived. Another patient was quickly brought in to the emergency room by the paramedics. The patient was lying on a stretcher. The ER was large enough to accommodate a few patients. I was called in to assist the doctors who were providing immediate care to the patient who had just been brought in on a stretcher.

The stimulus that triggered the bioreaction was my observation of the patient lying on a stretcher bleeding profusely.  The gushing of blood from the patient’s limbs stimulated my bioreactions. The patient had massive injuries on the lower extremities, which the triggered the bioreaction.

The bioreactions I experienced were “fight”, I could feel a lot of energy, the instinct to react, and also the need to help the patient.  Please click the purchase button to access the entire copy at $8
