The Covid-19 Pandemic has created and stirred fear and fearful situations across the world. But we can't let fear overtake us.

Fear is a survival mechanism. It’s a mechanism that God created to work in our bodies to keep us safe. It helps us escape danger. We go into fight, flight, or freeze mode when we are in danger or threatening conditions.

Fear is normal. The capacity to be afraid is a part of normal brain function. The problem with fear, is that fear response symptoms can be activated even in the absence of a fearful stimulus. Fear is a distressing emotional response to a real or imagined threat.

How much of your fear is real, imagined, and taught?

Most of our fear, is our creation. Our feelings come from our thinking; our thoughts cause emotions. Our thoughts and emotions can create physical stimulus. When you choose to worry, when you choose to ruminate, when you choose to what if you choose to have thoughts that create fear. And then you choose to make decision and take or not take action based on those fearful thoughts.

If we want to get a handle on our fears, we have to investigate them A practice that I do with my clients is to have them identify their fears, all of them. During our session I have them write out their fears and then we unpack each one.I recommend that you do this for yourself.

Knowing what your fears are can help you step out of your comfort zone of inaction, You can confront your fears and do the least scariest and work your way to the most frightening. Exposure Therapy is optimal for this. As you move to the most frightening you can seek professional help. 

Isn’t it time to kick down the barriers that are holding you back? Isn't it time to have the quality of life that you desire? Isn't it time to get a handle on your fear?

Yes, it is!
