Ep. 49: Naming and Taming the Core Fears That Control Us
About this episode
Beneath our everyday surface anxieties are deeper more substantial fears, core fears that control our behavior and affect our mood more than we imagine. If we can identify these core fears, and learn to stare them down, they have less power over us. To do this we need to also identify our coping strategies, the ones that allow us to temporarily escape these fears by controlling, overworking, people pleasing or obsessing. Once we do so, we can pursue our passions rather than just avoid our fears.
