Fear: the ultimate double-edged sword. Fear keeps us safe and alive yet can be debilitating and is not pleasant to feel. Fear can range from occasional occurrences to a daily shackle holding us back. Fear can include phobias, fears of connection and intimacy, fears of failure, fears of things going wrong, and distain for the uncertainty. In any case, fear can be incredibly challenging, but there are tools to make it easier to tackle. Tune in as we discuss how! 

Join us as we wade into the waters of fear, unpacking what leads to fear, how common it truly is, the risks of fear, and tangible tools to work more effectively with our fear. Our fear responses can start as early as infancy and are informed by our lived experiences. Fear can range from minor annoyances to a daily battle. Fear does not have to be incapacitating, nor does it have to be the controller of our decisions. We can learn to adapt; let us tell you more it!
