- The freeze response happens before the brain decides to 'fight' or 'flee'
- Touching the neck or throat is a primary way humans soothe themselves when feeling vulnerable
- Recognizing ventral exposure as a signal of comfort and openness
- Fidgeting with accessories often serves as a 'pacifier' to manage internal anxiety
- Connecting specific physical gestures to the need for stress reduction
- A genuine smile involves the involuntary contraction of the muscles around the eyes (crow's feet)
