It’s everywhere today. The stress of 2020 has created so much worry, fear, and anxiety. It’s so important to make a distinction between them, in order to address them effectively.

First Dr. Dodd looks at: Worry. Unwarranted fear or worry is always based on something in our imagination or our memory. It is the fear that we manufacture…in other words, it’s a choice.

Then: Fear. In general, fear is a reaction to something very specific…an observable danger. Fear can make us “run for cover.”

And finally: Anxiety. Whereas fear relates to a known or understood threat, anxiety is a result of an unknown or poorly defined threat. Being anxious about all the “unknowns.”

Join Dr. Dodd as he shares some very practical tips on how to address each of them.
