Overcoming Pervasive Fear

How can I address my lifelong fear that has been present since childhood? Rupert says: ‘Fear is an emotion that you have from time to time . . . Are you afraid when you’re deeply asleep? . . . There must be moments in your day when you’re not afraid . . . Even if your fear is pervasive, it starts and stops. And when your fear stops, you don’t stop . . . Fear is not inherent in you . . . It is not yourself. It’s something you experience . . . So all these therapies and everything that you are doing . . . be sure that they are not simply validating . . . your belief in yourself as a fearful person. You are not a fearful person . . . Fear is what you feel. It is not what you are.’
