Welcome back to the podcast. My name is Joseph Clough. And in today's episode, we're following up from

the previous one. And if you haven't listened to the previous episode, please go ahead and

do so because it's really, really important. I give you a bit of foundational stuff. Not that the

processes have to be in order, but I do mention some specific things in the

beginning which I will not be covering because I've covered them already but we

are following on from the previous episode of how to really work through any fears

or even phobias you may have in a way that you can practice and do this for

yourself and I hope you're enjoying my work

it is there to help as many people and subscribing to the app leaving a review means the world to

me it just means we can continue helping people for free as much as possible that's my plan so

following on here's what I want us to go ahead and consider.

We recognize in the previous episode there were a lot of association to dissociation to successful completion to rewind and so on.

And if you don't know what I mean, go ahead and revisit that episode.

Now we're going to be moving into a different way of

doing things, but ultimately your brain is coded to have a certain fear right now if you have a fear

or an anxiety. So every time you think of that thing you are fearful of, you have to in every single way

have an association to that fear. Your brain is just coding it and associating it to have a level of

fear. But that's actually good news because your brain also codes other things that allows you to feel good.

For example, if you were to think of something where you feel so powerful, maybe that you're really confident in, Maybe something that you do day in, day out,

and you just really love the experience. It could be a hobby. It could be something which is similar

to fear, but very different in a way, where you feel absolutely calm. For example, let's just say

you had a phobia of, say, a spider, but you do fine around a mouse.
