Morbid
In a solo episode dedicated to the science of fear, Alaina used Margee Kerr’s book, Scream, as a key resource to dissect the human fear response. She detailed why some individuals actively seek out fear, interpreting the physical sensations positively as feeling alive and grounded. Conversely, Alaina highlighted that others might interpret these same triggers negatively, relating the experience to a panic attack or a complete loss of control.

some might make a positive meaning out of that they feel really alive are grounded in their bodies almost like how you feel after a really intense yoga class or something that focuses all attention into your body.
For other people they might interpret that almost like a panic attack where they're feeling a sense of loss of control over what their body is doing.
