Episode 3224:

Dr. Kelly Flanagan shares a profound insight on embracing fear rather than attempting to eliminate it. Through a personal narrative of a turbulent flight, he illustrates how fear can coexist with fun, highlighting the importance of acknowledging fear as a companion in life’s adventures rather than an enemy to conquer.

Quotes to ponder:

“With my eyes shut tightly, I’m making my fear worse by trying to control it.”

“I used to think the goal of therapy was to help people vanquish their fear. Now, I think a goal of therapy is to help people vanquish that idea.”

“There is another world existing right in the midst of our fear, a world in which fun is waiting to happen.”
