Too many women enroll in a self-defense class after they’ve been assaulted. When they recount the incident, they often say the same thing: “I had this bad feeling, but I told myself not to be paranoid,” or “I knew I shouldn’t have gone, but I didn’t want to hurt his feelings.” If something doesn’t feel right, it probably isn’t safe — that’s the bottom line. Many women have been conditioned to ignore the little voice that tells them trouble is coming. Whether you realise it or not, when you are in danger, your brain and body respond reflexively. Your instinct is the best detector of danger. The next time you hear that little voice, listen to what it’s saying.
Gut instinct is often right!
