When your sentry is well - balanced, you
avoid danger, taking adequate precautions such as wearing a bike helmet or locking the door to your car; when overstimulated, the sentry floods your body
with fear even when danger is not present, such as
with phobias of flying or driving, or through anxiety disorders such as Obsessive Compulsive Disorder or
Social Phobia; when under - stimulated, you may not be vigilant enough, such as thrill - seekers who seem to continually «cheat death,» until they don't.
