We began with members of the group introducing themselves. Raul Meza and his wife, Dalia, owners of Quest Fitness, lead the seminar. The purpose of this seminar was to teach us how to deal with the emotional aspects of an attack. We would learn how to stop an attack before it becomes physical. Meza went over the symptoms of adrenal stress, which occurs when a person becomes excited for one reason or another.
Adrenal stress manifests itself in different people in different ways.
In order to be able to properly fight adrenal stress, we had to first know what it felt like to be what Meza referred to as adrenalized. This involved a role playing activity. The first role was the woofer. Woofer is a term used to describe the attacker. Attacker implies physical violence, but the woofer only uses his voice when threatening someone.
