TED Talk: What FEAR can teach us, by Karen Thompson Walker

That's right, FEAR doesn't have to be always be negative. I tell my clients to look at all emotions (the good, bad, and the ugly) as their EMOTIONAL GPS. Each emotion is a guide as to what we want more of or what we should steer clear of. However, our emotions can mislead us. Sometimes we respond automatically based on past experiences which is often not helpful in the current situation. We can learn a lot about ourselves when we SIT WITH OUR FEAR.

Is it time for YOU to get curious about the story you are telling yourself and learn to read this story in a more helpful, productive, and less emotionally-reactive way? Marriage and Family Therapists can help you explore your sense of FEAR, understand what layers are not useful, and translate your story into preparation and action.

Intentionally yours,
