Synopsis

The shaking hands ten minutes after the near-miss aren't a malfunction-they're your body trying to finish a

cycle you interrupted by going straight back to normal, and most of what determines whether you carry that

- The Unfinished Swerve: Why your hands keep shaking in an empty parking lot after the danger has

setting prohibits any physical outlet and...
