Your Brain On Fear

Welcome back for another episode of The DLOH: Your Mental Health Toolkit! Writer and Activist, James Baldwin, once said, 'Not everything that is faced can be changed, but nothing can be changed until it is faced.' We all experience fear, but what actually happens in our brains when we feel fear? And more importantly, how can we manage it so it doesn’t control our decisions and well-being? This week, we explore the science of fear!
