From a clinical perspective,it is the limbic brain region which emanates our + and - emotions. The cortex and prefrontal cortex are our critical thinking and moral and executive reasoning regions, respectively.
I agree that pronged stress reactions have serious negative effects. Faced w/ real or imagined threats to our well-being we can fight, flee or freeze. Those who face these stressors, utilize the challenge option.

And BTW, the military is utilizing CBT to stress innoculate future combatants. Based on my clinical research, this does not work. Repeated combat excursions cannot be inoculated via simulation. The sights, sounds, and smells of combat are searing. And regardless of rigorous training to kill other humans, soldiers are quite reticent to do so. I've only met 1 vet during my research who actually enjoyed it. Combat is quite gory, not glory.

I have 4 published articles in this regard.

These are quite pertinent issues!
