Everyone comes into a situation from time to time where you feel you are under pressure. Perhaps it happens when someone criticizes you or when you have to make an important decision under time pressure. At such times, your survival brain is often the first to be triggered, which can directly affect your reaction. Although we often understand that this is how it works, it remains a challenge to keep calm and respond differently.
