Comparing
Responses
There
are two primitive, adaptive, instinctive responses when encountering a problem
area: 1) a desire for flight or 2) a desire to fight. We
mostly experience these responses as fear or anger. Both responses are
basically "back-brain" or reactive in nature. Assertiveness
brings the "fore-brain" into play, bringing objectivity and "rationality".
