Understanding Fear as Thought
The podcast episode explores the concept of fear and its role in our lives. The speaker shares their personal experience with fear, having initially been scared and anxious, which eventually led to depression. They explain how they learned to face their fears and develop a counterphobic approach where they would do things they were scared of. However, they later had a realization that fear was not a message about the outside world, but rather a result of their own scary thoughts. Understanding this allowed them to see that fear was not a constant factor in their life, and they started feeling scared less and less.
