I have gone for a written format instead of Audio for this one, please let me know which you prefer!

Of all the feelings I think fear is one of the most challenging to interpret effectively. The sensory experience of fear - heart pounding, stomach churning, skin heating, can be so intense, and it feels so primal. It seems pretty logical to not do things that scare us. The scope of fear is pretty broad, it includes things like nervousness, worry, dread, and of course anxiety. These can all be seen as more specific variations of the category of fear. If we think about becoming a skillful interpreter of the information our feelings give us, fear provides some interesting difficulties.
