Great inspiration, great food for though or rather “food for practice” 🙂
Who would I be without fear? I just get a glimpse of it, but it has a lot of energy and power. I’d be a strong and open person for sure, and I’d seek the company of others more than I currently do.
I would be myself- deeply curious and open and look for opportunities to practice the Feldenkrais Method. I would be free of the societal and parental conditioning that has required me to wear a mask and hide my truth and and I would become a feldenkrais practitioner and help people feel the feelings trapped in their bodies due to various developmental trauma experiences.
I love the question, “Who would you be without fear?” I feel fear about the prospect of exploring the answer! I’d feel safer. I would be able to release “stuff” more easily. I would be able to trust others more. I would find more joy in human connection. I’d be so much kinder to myself. And that’s just off the top of my head!
Thank you Tara. Your delivery of these videos are soothing and reassuring in themselves. You give explanations in a very accessible way which makes everything seem so possible and not overwhelming. You left me feeling inspired and positively empowered to push through and face fear through being aware of it’s evolutionary and biological functions. It’s a shift in mindset that makes all the difference and sets one free from our self-imposed prison.
Learning that the most prevalent fear is the fear of failure is strangely comforting to me. It means I’m not alone when I feel that – many, if not most, other people feel the same thing I do. And I find the phrase, “Real but not true” very meaningful.
I’m not sure who I would be; but, I know that I would be more present and self-aware, more self-compassionate, and, living as opposed to just trying to get by. As Pete Townshend said, “Freedom comes from reality”.
I appreciate the practical and simple questions to ask clients that can help them to explore their inner thoughts. I have recommended Tara’s books and YouTube videos to many client s and always appreciate your teachings. Thank you for continuing to offer tools for helping clients. As a new counselor I am thirsty for all the training I can get!
I enjoyed the relaxing way I felt by listening to this third video on facing fear. Your voice sounded kind and gentle. You actually were speaking about fear and self-doubt in a manner that was very easily understandable and helped me feel compassionate towards anyone facing a feeling of fear that seems larger than life and the way it can take hold of them if they allow it to.
Thanks for taking the time to enlighten my understanding about fear and how it plays out in the lives of so many people, including myself. I especially like the breakdown of how, fear of failure, is rooted in self-doubt. I would be further along in achieving my goals/dreams if fear wasn’t present.
Tara — I’m so grateful for your talks and your tireless efforts to share so much with us. They inspire me with hope that we can cultivate a compassionate awareness that opens what’s blocked and propels us forward on the path of healing. Without fear, I would be my true and open self — thriving with vitality in the present, just as I am and want to be and taking every chance to live my life the way I feel it deep in my heart — without fear and never looking back.
Your question, “Who would you be if you didn’t believe something was wrong with you,” is a question I plan to process & answer for myself. These 3 videos were well done.
“Real But Not True” Paraphrasing one of your earlier talks, speaks of Walking in the woods, and you hear the leaves rustle, fear tells you that it’s a snake,or some other prey,only to be the “Breeze” Many times it takes all I have to face my Fear or Fears, (after years of therapy, and Recovery), Making this Transaction is / has been the most Important turning point in my life ! Tara Thank you for all of your opening “Stories” ……
Thank you Tara. You’ve offered numerous very helpful insights and strategies in the 3 presentations that I’ve already been able to use with clients. The velcro vs teflon metaphor has been particularly valuable.
Thank you so much for sharing very insightful information on how to deal with fear. Most of my clients, I work with struggles with fear and after listening to your short clip video provides for me with a better way to deal with my clients. thank you so much
Thank-you for such a comfortable, inspiring way to cultivate a fearless heart!!!
I would still be me (knowing nothing is wrong with me), only more joyful &
sure of myself!!!
I look forward to sharing this with my son, who is trying to love himself!!!

I’d be someone who can manage the “stuff” in my life. I’d have fewer thoughts of self-criticism about managing clutter. I’d have more space in my home and as a result more spatiousness in my mind. I’d probably have more confidence about my ability to manage the business details of my practice. Maybe more space in my mind to learn more about my computer and it’s usefulness, rather than viewing it as one more uncooperative thing I have to deal with. A lot of things about my life might change for the better. The trick is to make that first step happen!!
This is so relevant for so many of my clients. I spend a lot of my time being with them and guiding them to acknowledge their thoughts and experience their bodies. Your teachings offer guidance and a reminder about how to disrupt firmly embedded patterns, that neuroplasticity can affect change. I often think about how to motivate clients to engage with this practice in their daily lives, this is my challenge.
Who would I be without fear? I would be peaceful, graceful and happy. I have been struggling with fear/anxiety all my life. I”m willing to practice something new. I just can’t imagine the auto-grip when it takes over me, ever releasing – but I am willing to try. Thank you Tara. Your voice is like balm on my anxious soul.
A wonderful summary and delivery of making the latest in neuroscience about tackling fear and anxiety accessible for clients. The idea of how our profession might find ways of getting this thinking and wisdom into our wider societal functioning and public organisations is exciting as it could make a real contribution in reducing conflict, intolerance, disconnection and unfair distribution of resources and privilege in our communities and world.
Thank-you Tara, this is really interesting. I’m one of those people who looks for something to worry about and just hearing that this is normal is quite liberating. I’m a massive fan of your talks and podcasts. Catherine, Wales, UK
Thank you so much for sharing your insight on breaking the trance of fear. So much of our unworthiness is deeply rooted in self-doubt, the fear of failure and the idea that we are unloveable. I would be compassionate, kind, capable, loving, and worthy of love. 🙂
