Living in Fear

Fear is the path to the Dark Side. Fear leads to anger, anger leads to hate, hate leads to suffering.
YODA, Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace

We all experience fear; it is a natural human emotion. Fear responses aid us in protecting us from external real or perceived threats to our well-being. Differentiating between real and imagined fear is very difficult; it is subjective to the individual. How is it some people are able to remain calm in the face of real threats and danger, i.e. home intruder, life threatening accident, imminent death? And how is it that others become extremely fearful to the point of being functionally incapacitated when confronted with public speaking, going outside their home, driving, etc?

For those who experience this level of suffering and dysfunction, we can help. Our online counseling service is provided by licensed and experienced mental health professionals; we have been helping others with fear-related situations for over 20 years. Contact us today. Why continue to suffer?
