That's some interesting thoughts there Bob & I am inclined to agree with you but find that this condition is a more of an in-grainned reaction which unfortunately seems to thrive on our 'over active' senses. Relaxed & in control in normal situations like perhaps being at work is of course possible because the mind realises there is no real threat likely to happen & if so is not going to be totaly catastrophic. But when I step into the toilets - just going through the door then a whole powerful set of thoughts enters my mind & I go in to perhaps what could be seen as self protection mode whic leads to hiding & hence 'avoid'. Your comparrision to the climbers is mainly focused on the skill of climbing itself & in such situation it is very important to be relaxed - however this is something that is learnt in learning of that technique & instills futher with progression in that sport which will eventualy lead to success. AP seems to use all your sub-concious reactions that you have no real way of controlling but perhaps lending or prcatising to use a mindset you would use in what you have mentioned may indeed be helpful -with (switching back control) in what we perceive as dangerous situations. All the best Steve
