Can watching scary movies help you face your fears and could it lessen the effects of Post Traumatic Stress?
If you're a survivor living with unconscious fear all the time, being easily triggered, and feeling the unwanted and debilitating physical symptoms without warning, and on top of that you are constantly worried that you are going to have a panic attack, of course the idea of being scared on purpose just sounds stupid right?
Well that's what I wanted to find out. I wanted to know if we can experience fear without feeling afraid? So I did some research and a little (failed) experiment to find out.
