    I have a fear of heights/flying/spiders, is this course for me?

    The roots of fear tend to be the same, no matter the fear object. You may find that applying the techniques you learn in this course will help you with what you came with and a happy by-product is that it may impact other areas where fear and anxiety reside. 

    Isn't fear a good, natural thing?

    Of course! Fear serves a purpose of alerting us to scary things. However if we are stuck in fear we may become paralysed by inaction. We like to use the analogy of putting your hand in the fire. Ouch! It hurts, and it surely will do some damage if you keep your hand there overlong. Likewise, when we become immobilised by emotional fear we are prone to sabotage and becoming stuck. 

    Isn't my fear/anxiety genetic?

    There may be a genetic component to fear, however by and large it’s learned behaviours from models inherited (so more of an inheritance of nurture than nature). As such we can retrain ourselves to acknowledge our fears and then take action. 

    Are you claiming I'll never feel fearful again?

    No one can give you that promise. Fear is a normal response that we all feel however sometimes we become stuck and fear becomes disproportionate to the sitaution at hand. It isn’t feeling the fear that it is the problem but allowing it to rob you of your best life when you succumb to it. This course helps you to master the art of acting in the face of fear.

    How long will it take?

    This course is self-paced, with around 6h of content. You could whizz through it in a day and not really derive true benefit from it. We would suggest devoting a couple of hours to each module and to take notes with a journal to help bed down learning. 

    Don't I just need a better productivity tool/vehicle/house?

    If you think that the problem is ‘out there’ you end up tackling the symptom rather than the underlying causes. The symptoms may be generated by external happenings, however the reaction comes from you, and let’s be real here, that’s the only thing you can control. We take the approach of fixing the problem at source and uprooting unhelpful fears so that real transformation can occur.
