The exploration of fear with Kristen Ulmer in our last episode was fascinating.  As a former pro extreme skier, Kristen learned quite a bit about fear.  Now, as a fear and anxiety expert, Kristen introduced us to a deeper level exploration.  We hope you’ve taken her free fear assessment available at https://www.kristenulmer.com.  Here are our reflections on the interview.

Takeaways:

• Fear is something to explore and be experienced, not something to run from
• Fear and excitement are neurologically the same thing
• We should challenge the notion that fear is “false evidence appearing real”
• Becoming intimate with fear is giving yourself permission to lean into the feeling
• Intimacy with fear looks like reflecting, sharing, owning, and tapping into it
• Being intimate with fear can change the way we turn to medications to “deal” with it
• We can learn from our fear to expand the way we show up in the world
