Fear of abandoment

Shannon what if you just make a subliminal to overcome the feeling of fear in general? Wouldn't that kill many birds with one stone?

But wouldn't we need to be afraid of some things. Like walking in front of cars, lions, losing a child, having a car crash if we drive erratically, Becoming really unhealthy, someone trying to kill us and the list goes on.

I don't know much behind the science of fear but as far as i'm aware certain chemicals are released during flight or fight which enable us to deal with a situation.

For example I was driving a car years back and we spun out at great speeds the fear I felt due to fight or flight enabled me to get the car under control in that situation. If I hadn't had that fear of dying in that situation my reactions would have been slower and most certainly I would have crashed and died.

Another example I was in a car crash years ago as well and had to fight my way out of the car some of the things I had to do I would not have been able to do if it wasn't for the adrenaline that was released due to the fear I felt in the situation. Soon after the car burst into flames again this fear saved my life.

I could give other examples but I hope that gives an idea that fear isn't always a bad thing It was used to keep our ancestors alive. The problem now is that most of the times these days the fear that is triggered from flight or fight is unjustified. i.e. fear of rejection, approach anxiety, abandonment etc
