Fearless Under Pressure: Gina Casazza's SEAL Training and Kidnapping Experience
Description
What actually changes when you're under extreme pressure? In this episode, I talk with Gina Casazza, who has gone through civilian SERE training (Survival, Evasion, Resistance, and Escape) and high-intensity experiences designed to simulate real-world stress.
We explore:
• What people experience as "fear" in high-pressure environments
• How decision-making changes under stress
• The difference between perceived and actual risk
• What carries over from extreme training—and what doesn't
• Why some people adapt under pressure while others shut down
This isn't about extreme experiences. It's about understanding what they reveal. Because if you understand how pressure changes behavior, you can respond differently—without needing the environment.
