Whatever your fear, you’d probably agree that the last thing fear feels like is a choice; “full-force enemy attack” or “steel-reinforced brick wall” or “running off of a cliff at full speed” are likely better descriptions. Yet here is the Truth: the vast majority of our fears are smoke and mirrors; dirty tricks played on us by our shame. Of course, that doesn’t mean they don’t feel real. It does mean that when we obsessively fear a particular thing, our brain’s fear-response system has been hijacked by a fantasy. Now, that might sound abrasive or harsh, especially if you’ve experienced a lot of fear, trauma or any abuse in your life. Please stay with me though; my goal is not to shame you but to empower you.
