July 26 Compassionate Living Tip from Interfaith Paths to Peace
http://opinionator.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/07/23/a-desert-beyond-fear/?ref=opinion
From writer Jana Richman:
"I once had a therapist tell me that I likely learned my fear at a pre-verbal stage of life, which means, as I understand it, it got hard-wired in my brain. She called it Armageddon Syndrome. It is the deep nature of my fear that makes it an all-or-nothing proposition for me, something that needs to be treated like an addiction. Dabbling in it, however briefly, can bring on a full-scale blackout. The only option is letting go entirely — one moment at a time."
Read this wonderful essay from the NY Times on learning to face and cope with fear
