REPLACED:

Managing Fear, Anxiety, Worry, Safety, Contents, Links Directory




OLD VERSION 

Contents/Links, from higher up sections::  Psychology, and one of its subdirectories        Emotion And Fear Management 

Contents/Links, same level as this section:    Anger, Blame, Resentment, Criticism    Depression - Curing It  

These are ineffective strategies to deal with fear:   Anxiety (and its extensions), Worry, Anger      

Instead use these:  The Fear Solutions -  Strategies And Doable Steps - Complete listing.                                                                   


The boxes below are:                 

   
 SAFETY IN LIFE
 
This is a large part of the "antidote" to fear, once you understand this more deeply.  Plus consider the formula for psychological safety:  Safety positives minus illusory threats = psychological safety - of which we need "enough" of it in order to operate well in life.  (See Sufficient Certainty also.)

Note in the fear box, there is a section that is highly related:  Seeing The Consequences In Perspective.
              

 Safe, I Am  

          I Am Safe, At The Core, Always 
          Why I Am Virtually Always OK 
          Affirmations And Declarations 
          What I Can Cause In My Life  
          I Am Invincible 
          Why And How I Can Handle Life  

"Sufficient" "Felt" Certainty - Despite the uncertainty of life and the weather, we can feel certain of a core that is invulnerable, though one can still feel "wet" or "cold" in the weather-life analogy and still be fine...

The Emotional Bank Account - This contributes to a sense of safety or sufficiency and offsets feelings of lack or missings that contribute to a sense of not being safe.
