In reply to emotional flooding?, posted by floatingbridge on May 2, 2010, at 14:50:37
Emotional flooding happens quickly to people. It pertains to their emotions and the use of the word "flooding" is two fold. It concerns both the rapid onslaught of emotion and the incapacity at least temporarily that the "flood" causes.
Depending on the amount of hormone released, the heart rate
can jump 10, 20, or even 30 beats a minute within the space of
a single heartbeat. Muscles tense; it can seem hard to breathe.
There is a swamp of toxic feelings, an unpleasant wash of fear
and anger that seems inescapable and, subjectively, takes
forever to get over. Perspective narrows, thinking is
confused, and receptivity ends.
