Fears!

A person becomes afraid when he is confronted with a critical situation which he cannot cope. Such an emergency sets up bodily reactions which tend to mobilize the person’s energies. If running seems posible, the person will use this energy to run. If fighting seems possible, the person will use this energy to fight. If there is nothing that can be done, the person becomes the immediate response to the emergency, the adjustment should be dealing with the fear situation.

If a person desires to make the best possible adjustment to an emergency situation, he/she should:

- Direct his/her attention and energy toward that the thing
that produces threat to his/her well-being.

- In the fear persists without any apparent good reason, it can be assumed that the fear is a disguise designed to conceal some other
situation.

In such a case, it is no good to attempt to overcome the fear. The only successful thing to do is to uncover what is being concealed, and to read just to it.

The fear experienced should be the cue of the person that something should be done about the situation arousing the fear.

Make a definite adjustment to the cause of the fear. Don’t pretend that you are not afraid. Face the reality…:)
