Constriction is a narrowing in the face of adversity. The teaching of adversity, however, is expansion. Why, then, would we tighten, close down, restrict, and move away from flow? One possibility lies in the difference between shock and trauma. When the human nervous system is overloaded beyond its window of tolerance, then shutting everything down may seem like the only way to survive. The order of magnitude that defines shock has that potential.
