Of all the beliefs you hold, the most dangerous...

I am not sure about that. It seems what the mind is thinking the body follows.
If you think you are dying, you'll give in a little? A lot.

Seems like shock would work for the benefit of the person, briefly.

About 10 years ago,I was in a car accident. My car was totaled. If I had been going a little faster, I would have took it in the door. It spun me around 180 degrees. I got out of the car. I walked to a phone booth to call my insurance co. I didn't know I was hurt until the next day.

How could I have told my body I was really hurt,( banged up ) when shock had already taken over?

Shock always occurs first. I think. It tells your body you are ok, so you can do something extraordinary?

There's emotional shock and then there's circulatory shock which is defined as an inadequate perfusion (i.e. blood delivering oxygen) to the tissues which can be caused by things like bleeding. I think the latter type of shock is to what UT was referring.
