Is Fear Useful as a Motivator?

Something that came up in my group programme recently was the idea that fear is a useful motivator and can be used as a tool. It definitely is a motivator, which is why it is used by people in power the world over. However, it comes at a cost. Fear creates tension, damages self-esteem, creates a sense of disempowerment and lack of agency and keeps us small (which is why it is so useful when you want to oppress people!) In this episode I talk about the reasons we don't want to let go of it as a tool. In the podcast I also talk about a workshop I'm running on 24th August 2023 which will teach you how to let go of your fear.
