These tools and thoughts or rather „wisdoms“ are very useful for me and I find it very challenging facing worries and fear in the therapies. I need to practice them myself!!
As always, Tara leads with genuine integrity and offers practical advice. I would love to hear more! I hope the longer class can be offered in a format that allows for us to do the work in our own time without being limited to a set number of weeks to finish. I love the question she asks at the end — ‘Who would you be if you didn’t believe something was wrong with you?’ This led me into some profound insight! I am always so grateful to Tara for her books, talks, guided meditations, and for the way she conveys the concepts. Of course, in the end the work falls on each of us to use the tools she offers, moment by moment in each day. Anyway, this was truly inspirational. Thank you, Tara!
Fear falling off horse prevents me from returning to trails, we have faced neighborhood dogs attacking, I keep thinking not good enough rider, horse is spooky, working with 2 brains here! Need more confidence, trying to get there.
I have been struggling with this most of my life and can’t imagine the freedom i would feel without this monkey on my back.By the way i am 78 years old.
I would be an artist. Waking up each morning with a cup of coffee, my pen, and a pan of ink wash and feeling the pure joy and challenge of creating each day.
This series has been helpful to me in my practice of mindfulness and in helping my clients deal with their fears and insecurities. It gives a clear pathway to hope and improved mental health. Thank you.
Thank you. Practical tools for stopping the cycle of worry. It does take a lot of practice to train our brains in another direction. Being patient and loving to ourselves is helpful. I love “real but not true” which is also helpful when looking at our judgement of others.
These videos were so powerful! They helped me a lot, especially that part “ real, but not true”. How many times have we believed our thoughts to be true?
I would change direction and start running towards myself. I would come home… This series has been extraordinarily helpful and effective in its brevity. I wish everyone could know about the 3 steps. I will integrate them into my daily routine. Thank you!
I would travel the world and see more places without worrying about meeting all of my responsibilities all the time and having to work a lot to earn enough money to make it through retirement. I would be more and do less. I would trust. My life would flow…
I want to thank you for sharing this with me, I will use the phrase’who will I be if I did not believe something was wrong with me’ the answer is simple I wouldn’t be me. Thank you again
I would be living in my dream house, with a kind caring man, in a wonderful community, doing work I love, and writing inspirational articles and books.
Oh my goodness all this inner work I’ve done healing terror and fear from years of childhood and adult traumas I am living the first paragraph.
I am a living example of the work you shared on your wonderful videos. There is post trauma growth and transforming your life. I live it. Can’t wait to see where I grow next.
This struggle with worry is so real, and framing it as an addiction is very interesting. My life has been defined by my doubts: all job choices were made in an agony of worry. I’d like to move away from this pattern.
Who would I be if I didn’t believe something was wrong with me? I would be free from fear and self-doubt. I would be true to myself.
Practising is the key for our daily engagement. I enjoyed very much these three sessions.
Thanks, Tara Brach and NICABM!
Hi Tara, Ruth and team at NICABM thanks for making these three short videos available. I don’t think I learned anything new but appreciated the reminder and the pithy summation. However, I didn’t enjoy the background music.
I LOVED your video and believe it could be helpful for so many students. I am a high school guidance counselor and see anxiety on the increase in the adolescent population.. I also believe that as humans, most people feel there is something wrong with them. I wonder, how is it that we all pick that up as youngsters? Where does it come from?!
I probably would offer more love and kindness to others without needing a similar response or have the fear to be abused and being confident would help me to realize my dreams without fearing to be an imposture or losing security in life. It also means I wouldn’t be ashamed or full of culpability to live out of thé box.
Great series! Thank you so much! Not ready yet for the 6 week program but one day for sure in my path. Would love more information about that for now. Thanks again!
I have been using the line Real but not true with many of my clients for awhile and it is almost always received well.
Without fear I would be more creative and adventurous.
Thank you for articulating what I’ve experienced for most of my life. I know I’m not alone but hearing someone who really knows what they’re talking about lay it out so clearly and concisely gives me a lot of hope.
Thank you for your willingness to share those important ideas about anxiety. Patients struggle with enormous “what ifs”. The compassion piece will be ever so helpful.

Free.. my posture changes as my sternum lifts. I gasp for air.
So helpful. Thanks. At times we don’t recognize the anxiety and haven’t had tools to work through it. Fran Smith, Villa Garcia, Zac., Mexico.
Very helpful suggestions for healing.

I would speak my truth

Best tidbit was “who would you be if you did not think something was wrong with you?”

I would be less anxious and a lot more comfortable in my skin.

I am positive that without constant fear of failing, I would be a successful therapist and not struggling so much to get started.
I am positive thst without constant fear of failing, I would be successful therapist by now and not struggling to get started.
I would love fiercely and without worry. I would embrace risk and change. I would understand that I am safe and whole in each moment.

I found these videos very helpful and can use the techniques and questions with my clients. Thank you, Tara Brach!
Who would I be? A world traveler! I love to see new places, but have fears about driving when I haven’t been on the road before.
I would be free from the suffering I feel is part of my everyday life. I would be limitless.
I love that question “who would I be if I didn’t think there was something wrong with me ? Very powerful. And real but not true.

I am not sure who I would be without the fear. It’s been with me for as long as I remember. I will need to think more about this. Thank you for this.
Thank you Tara, this was a very powerful series. Without fear I would be free to love without condition or (fear) of rejection.
Thanks Tara. So good to hear your thoughts on this topic. Without fear I’d be BIG
I would be independent, confident, happy, and would move forward without being bounded by fear! You are very inspiring and motivating Tara!

This was a fantastic series, thanks so much Tara. I learned skills which will enhance my practice.
I would have my own private business – be my own boss.
Great program. Really useful insights, that can be quickly employed
I would be more trusting in people, engaging, confident and fearless.
Thank you for articulating what I’ve experienced for most of my life. I know I’m not alone but hearing someone who really knows what they’re talking about lay it out so clearly and concisely gives me a lot of hope.
what pleases me is the clarity of your teaching about fear/anxiety and your art of giving confidence in transforming , thank you!
