I sort of inadvertently ran across this thread, and wondered if anybody might have mentioned a connection between a startle reflex and the limbic system--perhaps a dysfunctional limbic system. I did a quick search, and noticed nobody did.
Not to get into any of the various "treatments" out there like Gupta and DNRS, but I can't help but think a lot of us are dealing with a limbic system that is not in homeostasis. I too have experienced an exaggerated startle reflex for many years, and my best guess is that my limbic system is likely responsible for it.
I don't really do any kind of Gupta or DNRS, but have a "repertoire" of relaxation and calming techniques that I feel calms down my limbic system (at least temporarily). I will likely follow up on this, and see if I can take a few more steps in reaching that elusive homeostasis.
