This was beautiful,Tara,thank you soooo much for explaining lucidly how and why fear grabs us and ways to deal with it. And yes, there are only 2 emotions: love and fear- the latter manifesting in many different ways. Seeing it in ourselves and in others helps us to be compassionate and show empathy: we’re all in this together. Love’nhugs!
I have listened to talks and meditations you offer for a number of years now, and I wish to thank you. I am not a clinician. I keep seeking to get to the roots of fears. I sometimes get limboed in a fog of how to be with what is, and to rewire at the same time. But your talks and meditations are fresh air when I need to just breathe. Thank you, Tara, Namaste.
Good info…Thank you Tara! I try to remember that FEAR is false expectations appearing real. This is still a challenge because I’m still working through old belief patterns and conditioning.
Thank you so much!! Realizing that others are often just as fearful underneath all the Instagram and Facebook posts helps me and my clients face their fears 🙂
thank you for offering this for free.
I am impressed about the content as a mindfulness teacher (mbsr/mbct) and dutch chaplain of humanities. I would love to offer the video in a workshop ‘mindfulness and meaning of fear’ for people of 55plus.
Then I will need the more general video. Is it possible to get that link as well?
I love to get my clients to give fear a name. Nothing negative. This name allows them to talk to the fear as separate from self. It softens the fear by comforting, welcoming and letting ‘fear’ be felt fully. Even saying to fear. “Its okay, I’ve got this” Fear is real and needs to be acknowledged but it doesn’t need to be the Captain.
Thanks for the video Tara. Mindfulness has been transformative for me. I suggest to my clients the same approach that has worked in my own life: to accept that “I have a tendency towards anxiety”: changing my language from “I’m an anxious person” to a recognition that I also experience lots of other impermanent emotions and am not always anxious.
I use gratitude and appreciation to focus on the moments of happiness to build my resilience and positivity, and once I am confident that I can touch happiness in any moment, I am able to look deeply at why I am afraid. The clarity and insight then provide me with other ideas about how to respond to the causes of my fear: including recognising and allowing it to be there as you so rightly say, so that it lessens it’s influence. Appreciating that it is trying to protect me has been key to that acceptance.
Thank you for your videos. I am facing my fears working with my counselor and the grace of God. I’ve developed courage and skills, using writing, meditation and breathing. Along with bicycling, out with God and nature.
Thankyou for the videos.I am facing my fears with meditation and mindfulness and it is helping. When I have palpitations i am also starting to use deep abdominal breathing and it helps.
Thanks for your talk Tara. I read the book “Feel the Fear and Do It Anyway” 35 years ago, and a great thing to remember with fear and anxiety is that courage isn’t about the absence of these things. Really brave people feel fear, and learn to act anyway. What helps me face fear? Learning mindfulness has been helpful, learning meditation was helpful, but the things that help me most are my spiritual community and my pets. My pets remind me to not take myself too seriously. My spiritual community reminds me that no matter how in control I want to be or think I am, I just ain’t. Life throws curve balls. Randomly. Breathe deeply, stand on solid ground, and some balls you can catch, some you can’t. Looking forward to the next two videos in this series.
Ask yourself, “What is the worse case scenario.” Consider it, then consider that generally everything works out in some way, often to your best advantage. It is good to analyze past worries (what you thought) and consider what actually happened and how things turned out. Often, what we feared never does happen!
The first step to face my fear was understand that it is ok being affraid of something, or that feeling is unpleasant but it´s here.
After that, it´s like the bigger wave of fear become calmer and I start managing the situation.
Breathing is the main part of this process.
Thank you for the series! I often talk to my clients about accepting and making space for difficult emotions, including fear and anxiety. About embracing it as a part of them, instead of fighting it.
At age 74 I regret allowing fear to hold me back. I recall excitement in my desire to step out; but I held back, due to the voice, “you are not good enough!” After successfully completing a class that prepared me for a new venture, I never got into research or further steps to reach my goal. Later I’d take another class with the same results. My jobs remained at $10.00/hr. jobs. Now in post retirement I stress over meeting my cost of living, and continue looking for manageable ways to earn a few extra dollars.
When my clients understand their fear as a natural response to developmental or event trauma, and ask the question “what happened to me” rather than “what’s wrong with me”, it helps them open to exploring the fear.
I have a fear of wide opened spaces. Decision to start with baby steps allowed me to start practicing walking and crossing parking lots that are so scary. I will look into allowing fear to be there, but not be the boss.
Thank you. It’s good to actually put this into words. If I acknowledge my fear (e.g. I don’t want to make this phone call, or listen to this person’s assessment of the situation), then I can say to myself “Your fear is stopping you do this. What is there to be afraid of? What’s the worst thing that can happen? You will handle it if it goes badly, it’s OK to stop the conversation or say sorry, I don’t know X, Y Z.” I try to look at each experience with curiosity. Things might not turn out the way I planned, that’s OK. After many experiences of tackling fear in this way I have become much braver and even delight in facing a fear and riding it through, sometimes it’s only seconds, or a few minutes, occasionally the atmosphere can last hours. Experiences add up to make the fear less of a barrier, I pat myself on the back and say ‘Well done, you didn’t over-react / get angry / shut down / chastise / ignore / avoid….. “. It’s a freedom!
I like the words by Thich Naht Hahn, “Breath in Peace, and Breath out Fear” that is such a loving way to exhale exasperation and despair and to replace it with a lighter and more lively thoughts.
Knowing that they are not experiencing something that is broken within, rather they are having a natural physiological response that can be soothed with simple application of a mind/body process of their choice.
Also I help them understand that to apply these self care techniques is not strange, it’s smart. Helping them create the mindset shift from ….
I am not being weird doing this, I am not the strange and different one…. I am the one applying a level of wisdom that is as ancient as time and as empowering as I make it. I deserve to learn and apply methods that help me with my peace. I deserve peace.
This is what I share…the mindset to take on the techniques…so they want to do it.
Hi Tara, Thanks so very much for your video; it’s very very good! Thanks so much for doing this; I appreciate it so so much!!! One of the things that helps me face fear is to become aware of a fearful thought and tell myself that it’s okay to have this thought. And then usually the next thought is “Oh! Hell no! It’s not okay to have this thought! It’s causing me so much suffering!’ And then I tell myself that it’s okay to have that thought. And by now I am usually feeling some space around the fearful thought and some equanimity. And I just keep doing this as necessary.
Sharing with truly caring others who I can trust helps me to face fear. Doing daily meditations based on self compassion, keeping gratitude in my attitude and getting out to be with others – going to the gym, doing yoga, being out in nature.
My fear and anxiety expresses in my body as IBS, for me it is very difficult to act in advance. It is something that happens without noticing, is part of my way of life.
But, I would like to change it, any advice?
I follow your talks and meditations, they help me a lot.
Who would I be if………….? I would be such a loving, caring person for myself and others. I wouldn’t shrink if someone close to me is judging me; I wouldn’t be afraid of how people will feel and I wouldn’t feel so responsible for other people’s feelings. Especialy after waking up I can remember something I didn’t do and feel so bad about myself, when my heart is closed. It would be so wonderful without this so limiting belief. What if these 3 steps could bring that about…..
Realizing that fear is not ‘bad’ or ’wrong’. That it is there to protect us. Fear as an energy does not cause suffering. Our identification with fear does. By fixating in the fear as bad/wrong we end up attaching to what we don’t want to feel. My practice is always to honor and embrace the program that is there to move me away from fear (guarding, perfection, control, criticism, judgement) and bring healing presence to the part of me that is afraid (wounded child). It’s so important not to forget to accept the parts of the personality that are there to protect us from hurt and vulnerability. Once those parts are accepted, then we can look deeper and bring healing the tender/vulnerable parts of ourselves through presence and compassion. This is the essence of the voice dialogue work that I am bringing forward in my healing practice. Thank you so much, Tara. Your offerings have been incredibly influential in my life.
Gratitude for the fear knowing it is here to protect me I also encourage my clients to create a relationship with fear so that they can become aware when it’s not controlling and when it is. Thank you so much for this wonderful work that you doing

Perceiving one’s safe connection with attentive and caring others when being vulnerability. Holding the intention to stay engaged with purpose despite the intrusion of anxiety. Observing anxiety symptoms with acceptance and trusting that it’s ok to feel this way. Practicing patience and nonjudgmental observation when anxiety interferes with performance and while waiting for the body to calm enough for the mind to re-engage with others. Giving oneself credit for not fleeing when re-engagement isn’t possible. Mindfulness practice cultivates our capacity to remain present when feeling afraid and vulnerable.
So much depends on whether the client can trust you have their best interests at heart and do not judge them. For them to trust is a big step in itself. Sometimes you can watch a client keep boxing themselves in and, after a while, it’s possible to just note this–“I see you’ve gotten to the same place where there’s nothing you can do”–and when they see this, it can get them thinking about how they rely on this unpleasant, defeatist process that leaves them vulnerable, which is the opposite of what they think it is supposed to do, and which of course they don’t want to do. Practicing mindfulness has tremendous power in shifting away from fear. It is difficult to convey the concepts of mindfulness; the client has to trust that just doing it, making it a practice, will bring results, kind of like turning a large ship in a different direction, where the bow takes a while to respond to the captain’s wheel. In my own experience, it is more an awakening than an insight. Also, helping the client access strengths via remembering times they had them, and thus still do have them and just forgotten or dismissed them, helps them own them again. Group affirmations also help–that acknowledgement by others of what they see in a person that the person may not realize is showing….
Body awareness….concentrating on identify surroundings (three things you see…two things you hear)….noticing the feeling and just being curious about it and then using breath (I often cue them to breathe so that you can “hear it in your head”) to “give the brain something other” than further fear and negativity….
I have a saying in Arabic: Allah’u’Abha or God is most glorious. I say it 95 times a day each morning. It’s lively in my mind. When something happens and I’m suddenly afraid, like a near miss in traffic, I say that phrase out loud. But when things go sideways in my day to day life, I will use it silently, like a mantra and it helps.
In your podcast, I really liked “Let it be ok that I am here. “
The realm of a fearless heart seems infinite. Facing fear is one thing, getting out of the loop of anxieties is another thing. The distinction is vital in the first step to decide to start “a new life”. How to find comfort is very personal and individual. Many Brits would brew a nice cup of tea, while others will send positive vibes or a massage. What about the contact with others ? A nice chat, a smile, or the tender look of your favorite pet ? The comfort of care is vital, is it repetitive or does it need to be changed ? So many questions …
Such an important subject – thank you for your articulations.
What helps is to take a deep breath and step back and witness myself and my reaction to a situation. I need time to observe what is going on for me and to voice that I need time to think about a situation. Can I get back to you.
Sometimes I need to step away to give my self a safe space to root myself and think.
It’s such a learning situation and sometimes just making a light hearted comment can defuse the situation.
Still learning….
Being aware of our deepest felt perception that creates “angst”, that triggers us. Then moving to integrate that(those) feeling(s), so we can respond rather than react to it. Accepting our wheel of life and all the feelings that are within it, to create a sense of wholeness. To use whatever mindfulness techniques that work for us with consistency, and at the same time always be aware of new ones that we can learn that we can add to our repertoire.
What helps me face fear now is the experience of having done so before…and I survived. I needed help to face fear: by working with a counsellor I’ve developed courage and skills using writing, drawing, meditation, breathing and talking with friends. My greatest risk now is being busy and missing the early signs of trouble – I need to do regular body scans as that’s where I pick up the tightness of hypervigilance.
I find that morning meditations around lovingkindness and gratitude are helpful. I’m also using many other strategies during the day to help keep my anxiety at bay such as walking my dog, short re-charge meditations during the day, taking a brisk walk at lunchtime on work days and mixing in some cardio and yoga as well.
I’m currently enrolled in a Stress Mastery Educator program with Heidi Hanna, PhD and Tara reiterates many of the concepts we are studying in the program. Thanks!
Hi from Argentina! Tara, I do all your meditations and listen to your talks. I´ve been following you for the last year and some of your stories and tips are very helpful. So thankful for joining you online!
When the fear invades my moments, I make the effort to think the opposite. Why shouldn’t I be able to do this? Why wouldn’t I be able to do that? And try to set the fear apart from that moment. Also, I go for a run listening to some podcast or I call a friend or my husband to feel quite or change the subject…

I face fear by feeling like I’m literally backed into a corner, and have no other options. I’m in Major Anxiety mode.
I have listened to talks and meditations you offer for a number of years now, and I wish to thank you. I am not a clinician. I keep seeking to get to the roots of fears.

Just watching this helped immensely. I have definitely fallen into the neural pattern of fear based thinking/anxiety. These videos are so helpful.

Three easy steps very understandable and workable around my shift. THanks.
Eat healthy ; stay away from stress
Make time for nap
Mental floss with distraction
This helps people to understand fear and itsceffects on the body

I`going quickly quiet, wenn i respire calm and visulaze a wonderful place, I know.
We come to learn to care for our fear rather than running away, or judging ourselves. Facing fear develops the heart of compassion.
Merging with embodied fear:
1. notice the fear
2. feel the fear in your body
3. let it be, embrace it, honor it
Who would I be if………….? I would be such a loving, caring person for myself and others. I wouldn’t shrink if someone close to me is judging me; I wouldn’t be afraid of how people will feel and I wouldn’t feel so responsible for other people’s feelings.
