Fear and how to move on

Hi Patti here.

‘The times they are a changing’, Bob Dylan sang this in the ‘60s and it’s true today.
Are you fearful and frightened to meet people, even to hug people again? Now the UK is opening up after Corona 19 virus there's a lot of changes happening, are you ready for them?

It’s ok to be apprehensive but it doesn’t need to control you.  Our emotions can easily confuse us and mix up excitement and fear, we get a rush of hormones, Adrenaline, Cortisol when we are fearful, and Oxytocin, Serotonin and Dopamine when we are excited.  Some people only notice the ‘rushes’ and can then assume it’s a fear state.

Have you noticed you start to feel fearful when you need to go out or listen to the media, your heart starts to race, your palms become sweaty, your face starts to redden or go white? This is your body reacting in a totally normal way, it’s enabling you to run, to freeze or fight, this was very helpful when we were being chased by a Sabre Toothed Tiger, but you don’t see many of those around these day (thankfully). Our bodies now respond in this way to everyday occurrences like, you can now go out, you can hug your family/friends, your children don’t need to wear a mask in school. 

All those things you used to do but now are frightened of, it’s ok we can sort it together. Now is the best time to change how you feel to move forward in a positive way.  I know you can do it with help and support.
