This is me. I have learned to deliberately 'freeze' if I feel something on me instead of flinging/knocking at it. I get a lot of mosquito bites that way. But my new mantra is to 'do no harm' and assess before reacting. It took a LONG time to learn this. And it still takes me a second to remember to freeze & assess before reacting. And I admit, I could 'forget' one day. Instinct can win over reasoned logic.While I don't like an unexpected wild spider crawling on my arm, I'm not terrified by it by any means. However since I've been studying Ts and slings, I find that they don't freak me out.
