I guess only vaguely related, because it's nothing like actual fight/flight/freeze where your sympathetic nervous system kicks into high gear.
- stared 7y agoMaybe it is just a metaphor. Then it is one I find enlightening. However, stress (yes, including work stress) kicks your sympathetic nervous system into high gear, as you put it. (With all other effects, from hormone levels to heart rate.) Sure, effects of short-term and long-term stress may be different, but the statement "because it's nothing like actual" is far from obvious.
