But when that snake is in your life, when that snake is in our homes, which is what is happening now with children who are living in countries that are affected by a war with the constant atrocities and sense of unpredictability and threats around them - what is happening is that our brain keeps releasing those hormones over and over again, and this response is then activating certain parts of the brain, like the amygdala, which is known as the brain's alarm system. And that's why we are seeing children living in that type of survival mode of fight, flight and freeze.
