The Rage Response adapted from Panksepp, 1998 by Walsh If we feel seriously threatened… If we become fearful….. If we feel that we are trapped and can’t escape… If we want to dominate someone and they challenge our power over them… If we feel hot, uncomfortable, crowded, hungry and tired…. When we lower our judgment and self-control by using drugs and alcohol….
