If only we could turn that button off eh? It is about re-training our minds to realise that not every little thing is so dangerous so we don't have to keep getting that adrenalin rush so often. It serves its purpose but is on red alert all the time for us sufferers so we have to learn to turn it off when it really doesn't need to be on.
