1
00:00:00,270 --> 00:00:07,980
Work through worry, fear and anxiety, overwhelming fear is one of the most crippling emotions when

2
00:00:07,980 --> 00:00:09,310
we are gripped by fear.

3
00:00:09,330 --> 00:00:16,650
It's hard to focus on anything else as our nervous system is on high alert and our bodies brace for

4
00:00:16,650 --> 00:00:22,920
action and this action, we will consider the very manifestations of fear and the tools you will need

5
00:00:22,920 --> 00:00:23,980
to work through them.

6
00:00:24,630 --> 00:00:31,230
Laura, from the beginning of tension headache all morning, she'd been worried about her mom's surgery

7
00:00:31,470 --> 00:00:37,860
and sort of shaking her phone one more time to see if her dad had called with any news.

8
00:00:38,280 --> 00:00:41,680
What if the biopsy revealed her mother had cancer?

9
00:00:42,030 --> 00:00:49,780
She was surprised a second later when her phone rang, fumbling with it as she answered Dad.

10
00:00:50,040 --> 00:00:59,070
She heard the start of a pre-recorded credit card offer and made an exasperated sound.

11
00:00:59,070 --> 00:01:03,780
As she hung up, she filled her head begin to sound like Laura.

12
00:01:03,810 --> 00:01:05,730
All of us are created with fear.

13
00:01:05,730 --> 00:01:12,000
At some point, we may be prone to frequent worries about things that never happen.

14
00:01:12,330 --> 00:01:17,070
Or maybe we experience panic attacks when we speaking in front of a group.

15
00:01:17,460 --> 00:01:20,910
Let's consider a CBT understanding of these experiences.
