The exploration of fear with Kristen Ulmer in our last episode was fascinating. As a former pro extreme skier, Kristen learned quite a bit about fear. Now, as a fear and anxiety expert, Kristen introduced us to a deeper level exploration. We hope you’ve taken her free fear assessment available at https://www.kristenulmer.com. Here are our reflections on the interview.
Takeaways:
- Fear is something to explore and be experienced, not something to run from
- Fear and excitement are neurologically the same thing
- We should challenge the notion that fear is “false evidence appearing real”
- Becoming intimate with fear is giving yourself permission to lean into the feeling
- Intimacy with fear looks like reflecting, sharing, owning, and tapping into it
- Being intimate with fear can change the way we turn to medications to “deal” with it
- We can learn from our fear to expand the way we show up in the world
