The response usually has an undercurrent of calm from what I've found, while the reaction is accompanied by panic or at the very least some level of fear or aprehension...anything but calm. It may not be apparent in the moment if you're not particularly present, but looking back, it's easier to distinguish the times you reacted from the times you responded and evaluate how you can spend more time responding.
Angela does have a way of making things understandable. Ever thought of being a teacher/guru?
