Further to all the posts about adrenal support, my herbal medicine book has this to say about adrenals... 'Adrenalin is responsible for the rapid bodily response to extreme stress, the so called fight or flight syndrome. It is essential that when this response to a situation occurs, the energy released is used. If the response is inhibited, as it often is when triggered by emotional reactions, the body cannot simply forget the adrenalin. It reacts internally, as external expression is suppressed. Over time this can lead to exhaustion and lay the foundations for chronic disease to present itself anywhere in the body.' Interesting, no? I take it to mean that when we suppress emotions we are suppressing the adrenalin. As regards personality type, this might mean someone who didn't speak out when they were angry (or wasn't allowed to speak out)... which resonates with me, personally. I also wonder if ES people are fairly perfectionist, rigid, anxious types - as opposed to relaxed, happy go lucky types? I am certainly the former. Not sure how much we can 'change' our personality, but we can certainly be aware of how we react to things and how we live. I am def trying to relax more, and not to rush around trying to be 'perfect'...
