Releasing Fear & Anxiety: The Anatomy of Fear - The Option Institute - Barry Neil Kaufman

option.org/programs/resources... -- The Option Institute's HAPPINESS HITS Video Series
Barry Neil Kaufman, best selling author of Happiness Is A Choice and Son-Rise: The Miracle Continues and the Co-Founder of The Option Institute, The Son-Rise Program®, and the Autism Treatment Center of America™ clearly explains why and how we use fear to take care of ourselves, even though this often creates limiting beliefs and anxiety.
Fear can be an ever present, incapacitating emotion that prevents you from completing the simplest tasks. Or it can be a rare occurrence out of nowhere catching you at just the wrong time. Or it can be a background anxiety just below the surface that you can't put your finger on. Big or small, fear can impact every facet of your life from your career, to your health, to your relationship.
"I came to Fearless, with fears and beliefs that had guided me all of my life. They led to misconceptions and pain for me and those I love. It was incredible that in a few days I changed so much that I was calmer, more clear- headed and authentic, and less judgmental. I could see and understand my past, discard it and move on. "
~Barbara Cerf, Marketing Executive/Writer, New York
In the Fearless Program, exclusively available at The Option Institute, you'll acquire tools and techniques that will not only let you stand courageous in the face of fear, but instead, will let you completely eliminate fear. You've heard about irrational fear - you'll learn how all fears are actually rational and therefore understandable. By understanding the rationale behind your fears, you can identify the beliefs that fuel them. Change these beliefs, and you banish the fears and phobias they produce.
When you are Fearless, you will know how to:
• Thrive on Change: Enjoy every minute on life's roller coaster
• Overcome anxiety: Find the rationale behind the seemingly irrational
• Step up to life: Make the "hard" decisions that have been holding you back
• Become an everyday hero: Think clearly, even in crisis
"After my 17 year old son passed away suddenly, I didn't believe I had the strength and courage to go on. The Fearless Program made me aware that I am fully equipped to take care of myself and that I can move forward and celebrate my son's wonderful life."
~Rick Dempsey, Marketing Consultant, ME

It is definitely terrific! Fearless was one of the best classes I took at the Option Institute. Amazing for me to dissect my fears in the way Bears explains, and watch the fear dissolve. And yes, MrBruce, I think it's easier with classmates to keep it going because we remind each other of those transforming beliefs. But I can do it myself also. These are tools Option offers, not a magic bullet. Now I know it's ok to be fearful-so what? But I can also use one of those wonderful tools!

For me wanting is enough, I want the wonderful concepts Bears present to work for me. By studying, thinking and discussing the processes I have gained freedom from the diminishing beliefs the world hold. I want the Option Process to work for me, and it does because I make it work. There is no "it" that works or not. You make things work. If you say it does not work, you are right, when I say it does work I am also right because the way we se determines what we experience.

I don't know why there isn't much classes like these.. . we should have classes like these in every state/country to overcome fear... I mean it's the best way to get rid of stress, depression etc.
