Fears tend to lose their grip when people face them. As Emmi Bonhoeffer states, “From the very moment one feels called to act is born the strength to bear whatever horror one will feel or see. In some inexplicable way, terror loses its overwhelming power when it becomes a task that must be faced.” Conversely when we experience past difficulties as uncontrollable and unpredictable, we are more likely to carry and accumulate fears and worries.
