2. You must name the things that frighten you.
Giving a fear a name turns it from an amorphous, wordless darkness into a concrete problem you can examine and act on. Naming lets you identify triggers, test beliefs, plan exposures or coping strategies, and reduce the threat’s emotional charge (a principle used in therapy and stress research). For example, rather than “I’m scared,” try “I’m afraid of failing this presentation,” then list what you can do to reduce that specific risk.
