The Power of Exposure to Fear
Exposure to fear, without direct harm, reduces anxiety. The events of the Blitz highlight this principle as most people remained unscathed despite repeated bombings. This exposure transforms the hypothetical terror of falling bombs into a less panic-inducing reality. The lesson can be applied to various aspects of life where fear hinders progress, such as public speaking, learning new skills, or pursuing new opportunities.
