From the author: This material was published on the author’s website “Demyanova Science” Fear is the main barrier to success! It prevents us from enjoying reality, achieving goals, destabilizes our lives and leads to illness! We have already written recommendations on “How to get rid of fear.” And they shared a psychotherapeutic method of diagnosis and correction. And then our article about ghosts came out... Rumors and various memories of eyewitnesses made us believe in the mystery of reality, inspired a feeling of fear that we had to urgently cope with. But as they say, “every cloud has a silver lining!” - I immediately remembered a forgotten and little-advertised method of getting rid of negative emotions - “Scare away fear!” Yes Yes! Just scare! Which helped not only to come to one’s senses, but also to rethink the understanding of reality, human relationships and personal achievements...: The “Scare Fear” method turns out to be applicable in many areas. Let's think a little and make it work for each of you! When we are afraid of someone or something, we involuntarily imagine the object of fear stronger, more cunning, more powerful than us, possessing supernatural abilities! Let's change this idea to the opposite! I remember an incident from consultations: Once, in the process of psychotherapeutic work with fears, one girl suddenly said to herself: “Why should I be afraid of ghosts? Let it be afraid of me! - this valuable thought immediately helped her take a different position, she felt strong, became more confident and... As a result, she got rid of the fear that had been tormenting her for a long time! Now think: “What or who is your fear afraid of? (Everyone has their own weaknesses. Remember fairy tales and real-life incidents).” Did you answer the question? The more you find weaknesses in your fear, the more confident you will become, and the more fear will tremble before you! – Think: “Why are we afraid of others? But because we ourselves have many weaknesses and we are afraid that they know or will find out.” Read our articles about “EVERYTHING IS RELATIVE”, “HOW TO INCREASE SELF-ESTEEM AND SELF-CONFIDENCE”, “WHAT IS BEAUTY”, etc. And then you simply WILL NOT have weaknesses. Put yourself in the place of fear in that closet, behind that door, in the place in which it appears to you. In fact, YOU HAVE TAKEN YOUR PLACE, since your image is drawn without splashing out aggressive emotions. Throw out the negativity on your imaginary scarer, scold him - how long will he interfere with your life, scare him! We are often afraid not only of ghosts, but of quite adequate ones the people around us! We are afraid to do or say the wrong thing... Remember, your interlocutor is no less worried! Do you have any doubts? Check it out. When you talk to someone, periodically look at the tip of his nose, or hairstyle, etc. For men, the most exciting thing will be looking at the fly area. By doing this, you will simply throw the person off balance; he may even forget the purpose of his conversation with you, since his appearance and the question will become an important element: “What caught your eye?” , “Maybe I have a dirty nose or a terrible hairstyle... or an unbuttoned fly (God forbid)?” People are very concerned about how they look in the eyes of others, even if this is a conversation between the “monster” boss and your subordinate – the “hare”. Monsters want to be themselves and are afraid of looking like they are not powerful enough... Everyone has their own social fears! Scared of your fear? Growled at him?, and now Offer to be friends! Imagining the fear of the poor, unfortunate, lonely person, who will be glad that someone understood and loved his such a terrible loser, helps children a lot! Since they are prone to fears, they themselves often experience similar emotions, on which anxiety and uncertainty are built. Concluding a friendship agreement with our fears helps us adults too. Try it! PS Think who should be afraid of whom? Are you a ghost, or is it you? Are you the people around you, or should they be afraid of looking not worthy enough in your eyes? Are you your desires, or? .....
