Books like Embracing Fear by Thom Rutledge
Fear takes many forms—dread, panic, anxiety, self‑consciousness, superstition, negativity—and manifests as avoidance, procrastination, judgment, control, and agitation. In *Embracing Fear*, psychologist Thom Rutledge draws on his 25‑year practice, his own experiences with addiction and depression, and practical exercises to show that while fear cannot be eliminated, it can be understood and confronted. By facing, exploring, accepting, and responding to fear, readers can break free from its tyrannical control and live beyond its paralyzing influence.
