Fear and Reason: Working With Your Danger Signal Instead of Being Run by It

Starts from the danger system every person is born with, the step back from the curb, the flinch at a loud bang, which works correctly and needs no thought. The problem is the second phase, when the signal that should have faded stays on and turns a moment of caution into days of dread.

Builds four skills: separating the quiet warning from the panic that adds volume but no information, working with the story the panic tells rather than fighting the feeling, treating the habit rather than each episode, and respecting the body without denying the feeling. Closes with writing down the three fears taking the most of you.
