Remember when all our friends were Insta, Facebook, Tik Tok-ing " their best lives"? It seemed everyone had the perfect home/vacation/ children/pets. And feeling some Fear Of Missing Out (FOMO) because you were on the outside looking in, uninvited. Then, the pandemic lockdown: the great equalizer! Everyone was living their shared COVID lives. Now things are starting to open up again...What/who is safe? Touch or don't touch? And therein lies Fear of Going Out (FOGO). Kevin and Niseema discuss the phenomena of phobias: how our early experiences in childhood set a pattern for our coping mechanisms throughout life. Learn how to peel back your layers to examine deeper fears, the 5 kinds of reactions to fear/anxiety and how to find your positive center in our new world.
