"Coping With Collapse" Series: Navigating Fear
We begin our Coping With Collapse series by learning tools for navigating fear. No matter how much you have read and learned about collapse, you aren’t human if you aren’t scared. There is nothing wrong with feeling scared, but since we are human animals, our fight or flight instinct often takes over, and we crater into panic. The suggestions I’m giving you today are not about NOT being afraid, but rather, how to contain the fear so that it doesn’t own us.
