MANAGING FEAR/ANXIETY/WORRY/SAFETY
CONTENTS/LINKS
REPLACED:
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.
"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.

specifically dealt with

The core exacerbators and harmful strategies lie in the paradigm of Fault, Blame, Anger, Right/Wrong, Good/Bad, Punish Paradigm.
The No-Fault, No Blame, No Criticism Viewpoint - Implement it and your brain wiring will dramatically reduce the fear responses, as a side effect.
Suffering And Struggle - Totally unnecessary and useless, very eliminatable.
ANXIETY

CAUSES (Believed threats)
Something is wrong with me - Nonsense! Not perfect, but...
And Is It Any Big Deal Anyway? - A major thing to "handle" as
it exists in "vagueness" soup, as a source of anxiety, but with
alot of misunderstandings!
EXACERBATORS

Chemicals/Medicines To Reduce - When needed, which and
how much, foods and natural items
Problem-Solving, Decision-Making Skill/Method - Of course, this will facilitate a good life, but it will also put many concerns "to rest", where the primitive brain no longer has to be concerned about the "unsolved".
