Extreme sports

Activities engineered to terrify you in controlled ways—rock climbing, base jumping, whitewater kayaking—because the fear response is also a presence response, and some people's nervous systems only feel alive when genuinely threatened. It's either recklessness or the sanest way to escape dissociation, depending on which therapist you ask.
