Fear
Thursday 20th December
Isn’t fear a strange thing?
Fear of fear is far more powerful than fear itself. Especially when there’s really nothing to be afraid of.
And fear is more about the past than the present. It brings up a stronger reaction than it should because of past feelings.
So overcoming fear is about putting the past in its place, assessing the present, and getting on with the task.
More in an hour or two…
Yep. I do like being frightened by a good film. I don’t like the fear I get when climbing up long ladders when they don’t feel too sturdy.

I think the term you’re looking for is meta-anxiety. I was a Psychologist, I know these things.
