Dr. Rick and Forrest continue their series on the stress responses with the \u201cfight\u201d response to stress. They explore anger, repression, and the balance of self-expression and self-regulation before talking about how we can claim the adaptive aspects of the fight response without falling prey to its more problematic aspects.
