1.2 (D) Summary of Lesson 2

​​Fears:
  • There are two innate fears: fear of falling and the fear of loud noises.
  • Phobias are considered “irrational fears” that can impair a person to function.
  • There are five basic fears: the fear of dying, fear of mutilation, fear of autonomy, fear of separation, and fear of ego death.

Levels of Anxiety:
  • There are three levels of anxiety: mild, moderate, and severe.

Understanding Panic and Panic Cycles:
  • Panic attacks can leave a person frightened and feeling out of control.
  • A few symptoms of a panic attack could be: pounding heart, lightheadedness, nausea, and the chest to tighten.
  • If you suffer from panic, you need to realize the following: you are overwhelmed, something is going on that needs to be addressed, you are worrying about things you have no control over, and you need to take time for yourself.
  • The more attention you give to your anxiety, the more the mind will remind you it's there.
  • A panic cycle can be created from the fear of having another panic attack.
  • People in constant fear of something can develop a panic cycle.
