Tune in for a free preview of this premium BFTB episode where we discuss all things related to how to cope with anxious or phobic feelings around death and dying. I understand this fear deeply because it’s ruled much of my life. And chances are it’s ruling yours, too. Turns out that learning more deeply about this subject and exploring how other cultures approach it instead of shoving my fears down further into my psyche has helped me more than anything else so far. I hope what I share can help, even just a bit. Because let's face it - the fact is that the idea of death is scary as hell for everyone, even if they won't admit it.

TOPICS DISCUSSED:

✧ How to become more comfortable with the idea of death and dying

✧ What is Thanatophobia? (death anxiety / fear of death) – symptoms and overcoming it

✧ How different cultures deal with and view death (and the major differences between East and West) 

✧ An exploration on Ram Dass’ view on death and dying: “Death is perfectly safe. It’s like taking off a tight shoe.”
