Episode: KEW Episode 87: What Are You Afraid Of?
Description: Not many people like talking about, much less admitting, what they are afraid of.But I have found, in my work and over a decade meeting with therapists and coaches, that fear is a HUGE motivator.It turns out that a lot of our behaviors and beliefs are rooted in fears.In the Internal Family Systems model, we talk about 'parts' of ourselves that are born to reduce these fears. In other modalities we talk about wearing masks, or that other emotions sit on top of the fear - like anger.
