Mentally Stronger with Therapist Amy Morin 152 — Conquer Any Fear with These Science-Backed Steps
People often say, "Face your fears," but they rarely share how to do it. Fortunately, there are specific steps you can take to make something feel a lot less scary. Whether you struggle with a fear of public speaking, a snake phobia, or a social phobia, this method can help.
Therapists use exposure therapy in a controlled manner because it works. Some of the things I share are:
- The difference between fear and anxiety
- The top 10 most common fears
- The science-backed strategy for conquering fear
- How to create your own fear hierarchy
- A step-by-step plan for conquering fear
- The one thing to avoid when facing a fear
