Lesson Overview

2.09 – When You're Afraid of Yourself: Being afraid of your own mind is a heavy feeling. You might fear losing control or hurting yourself even if you do not want to. That fear shows self-awareness and the will to stay safe. It is important to separate thought from action—having scary thoughts does not mean you will act on them. Write or talk about what you fear to take away secrecy’s power. Create a safety plan that includes who to reach if urges rise. Avoid being alone during high-risk moments; connection keeps reality steady. Remind yourself that feelings move like weather—they pass even when it rains hard. Taking care of your body supports your mind’s stability. Seek spaces that make you feel grounded, like a counselor’s office or quiet music zone. Courage is not never feeling afraid—it’s reaching for help while afraid. Each time you choose safety, you reclaim trust in yourself. Fear loses power when honesty leads the way.
