Really?

Fear & Anxiety
fight or flight reflex
or a fear of future danger

Amygdala tells parts of your brain to send chemicals out = heart rate up, blood flow up, ready.

Your brain records
reactions
event details
memorizes triggers

retained for years

Allow for some free will

• List of fears least to greatest
• break down one into small steps
• routine of desentivity
• forgive yourself
• life skills take a life

Spiders

• Know them - research
• pictures in room, sketch
• challenge other's perception
• see at store (frequently)
• hold a harvester "daddy longlegs"
• hold true spider
