Overcoming Fear v4: The Special Case Files

[Shannon]

End of Cycle #4

Reducing the cycle to 2:1.

Had trouble making eye contact with people today, so I'm taking that as a sign to reduce the off days further. If I'm still resisting after this I'll probably start increasing the loops, or increase the listening days from there.

EDIT: In fact, I'll probably start increasing the volume by +1 click up to two from the max or something, before I start increasing loops. Maybe volume > days on > loops?

I'm noticing that you're making all of these decisions from your conscious mind, instead of through AutoConfig.  Your conscious expectations are setting the pace.  I suggest that you hold where you are and see how it works for a while, instead of expecting instant results.  The harder you push, the more likely you are to get the reverse of what you want when it comes to a scared inner child.  Just because you had a fear response doesn't mean it isn't doing anything or working.  These things take time.
