> My therapist thinks that I need to learn how to not have a flight response (as though this is a life and death situation) everytime my boss approaches me - not to minimize the seriousness of the situation, but to make it managable, b/c when I feel like this I get paralyzed, which makes it that much harder to get my work done.

Same here. My flight response is so finely honed that it makes my life much worse than it needs to be. Probably going to my bosses and telling them when I'm overwhelmed and asking them to set priorities would stave off a lot of ill feelings, but I try to hide and hope it gets better instead. Then I get so overwhelmed, it's hard to even start. Sigh.
