On this episode of our advice segment, The Nature Fix, we respond to a question about fear.

A listener called Over My Head writes to us about a terrifying whitewater rafting trip she went on with her husband two years ago. The experience left her so rattled that she has not set foot in a raft again.

She wants to overcome her fear, in part because rafting is one of her husband's greatest passions — "so important it was in his wedding vows."

Our advice columnists offer some tips on mitigating fears, and discuss whether you should try to make yourself love what your partner loves.
