** This thread discusses the content article: Chapter 7 - Understanding Fear and Phobias **

I would like to share the ways that I have located, that have worked for me, to correct the inconsistent conditioning. Hope they "Help"!

Search emotionally charged events from our past -look at them in a "Now" time frame of understanding", as a neutral observer.
Take back our personal perspective, by reestablishing our own opinions and feelings, about everything that we experience, feel or think. Which will then reintegrate, our rational intellect with our emotions, within reality.
Utilize thought or meditation on our first impressions and then on our own, thought out opinions and feelings, about all of life.
Reflect on how we feel and relate to everything, that we see going on around us and do, within our life.
Develop faith in the "Process of Life and Time".
Allow time for the "Process of Change" to happen.
Develop a realistic awareness of what is happening, by whom, where, why and how we personally feel about it all, right "Now".
Breathe and relax for stress relief and grounding.
Walk and breathe - stay in a "Now Time Frame" for practice.
Drink sufficient water.
Write down our understanding and feelings, about what has happened to us and talk about it with someone who can relate.
Do what works the easiest, fastest, most equitable way possible, for all involved and effected.
Keep our self grounded within a healthy body, by doing what we need to be doing, for our "Self, First"!
"Clarity" is "Understanding" - Which Leads Us To Healing!

The state of our "Self Expression", is the foundation of, "Our Own, Life". Which is supporting everything, a component of it "All". Unique and authentic self expression is, "Our Universal Birthright". Which is our responsibility, to the best of our ability - "To Know, Improve and Express". Should be the only reason, that any one of us, is here.

Hello Continuum, forgive the long delay since your ost, I have been away a lot. Your thoughts and strategies are very useable, very clear, very workable, thoughtful and aware. Whe one finds a good listener, one should guide the listener to not interrup or offer opinions or interpretatons, wait for a a good moment of silence then ask if if s/he can offer a question. Non or bad listening is the common plague for almost all of us. Prohibition against listening is planted early in our lives by important ones not listeninhg, ridicule, threats etc.

Thank you for your important posting, and stay well, Jack Donner
