Between Stimulus And Response

Scientists have identified a specific region of the brain that processes fear, triggers anger, and motivates us to act in one way or another.  It's called the amygdala. This is the part of the brain that controls our fight, freeze or flight response whenever we are suddenly confronted with danger. The psychiatrist, Viktor E. Frankl, has the following to say about this amazing  human phenomenon: "Between stimulus and response there is space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom."
