37. Fears

We are in Stockholm, just after midsummer, when the light is always on. It has been a while since the last recording and we start by discussing what gets in the way of our podcasting: Health, bricks & mortar - very much level-1 stuff. Which then gets us into the topic of this episode: Fears. We remind ourselves of the three lower levels of the Barrett model and how we can use the model to provide a framework for fears. We make the distinction between rational and irrational fears. We discuss the role of the nervous system in fear. What happens when we allow fears to hold us back from our personal development? What is the connection between fear, authenticity, and purpose? How do the body, mind and emotions interact in fear? How can we learn from fear? How can we deal with fear, the thoughts behind the fears and the emotions, the physical sensations in the body? As usual, to illustrate this fascinating topic, we discuss lots of personal examples.
