Have you ever walked into a room and felt an overwhelming urge to leave immediately? The science behind this phenomenon reveals that our brain acts as a self-protection system, specifically designed to detect potential physical safety threats in our immediate environment. This isn't just a modern psychological theory--it's a well-documented reality! When your brain detects a potential threat, it triggers a series of neurophysiological responses that reorganize resources and focus your attention, helping to keep you safe.
