Ways to Overcome Fear

Fear and panic attacks are often illusions from old, stuck patterns. Helena Green specializes in ways to overcome fear and panic attacks. That includes everything from panic and fear of bullying, problems in a relationship, Friday the 13th to fear of an uncertain future or a difficult decision public speaking or fear of intimacy. In learning ways to overcome fear, you discover that fear needs to be contained and managed. Thought processes and resources are then more available to use in finding the best possible outcome. Marianne Williamson said, “Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.” 

When you are in fear, your judgment, attitude and behaviour tends to be negative. This is not a happy place to be and it limits you. At more intense times, you likely tend to think and act from your “FFF – flight, fight or freeze” centre in our brain. Chances are these fear-based scenarios predispose you to not be able to communicate effectively, let alone behave from a balanced and reasonable perspective. You can even project things (eg. perceived threats) that are not there. That’s the irony of ways to overcome fear; fear is often only an illusion. Yet fear and anxiety together can ruin a your physical health as well. Procrastination, as a way to cope, can keep you stuck for a long time.

Along with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Helena works with her innovate approach in Meridian Tapping, called Clinical Meridian Tapping (CMT). CMT works with past, events that are stored as intrinsic memory in the boy for deep healing. Working with the part of you who developed the fear from a past experience can help you not only heal the past but also bring healing and freedom to the present.

How to Defeat Fear
Once there was a young warrior. Her teacher told her that she had to do battle with fear. She didn’t want to do that. It seemed too aggressive; it was scary; it seemed unfriendly. But the teacher said she had to do it and gave instructions for the battle.

The day arrived. The student warrior stood on one side, and fear stood on the other. The warrior was feeling very small, and fear was looking big and wrathful. The young warrior roused herself and went toward fear, prostrated three times, and asked, “May I have permission to go into battle with you?” Fear said, “Thank you for showing me so much respect that you ask permission.” Then the young warrior said, “How can I defeat you?” Fear replied, “My weapons are that I talk fast, and I get very close to your face. Then you get completely unnerved, and you do whatever I say. If you don’t do what I tell you, I have no power. You can listen to me, and you can have respect for me. You can even be convinced by me. But if you don’t do what I say, I have no power.”

In that way, the student warrior learned how to defeat fear.
