There are parts of the brain that activate when you experience fear, but that does not make the brain "hard wired" for fear the way a lot of people think. It means one or more parts of the brain are capable of allowing for the experience of fear. But fear comes from imagined outcomes that threaten your deep self with changing and facing the unknown, which is imagined to be scary.
The fact is that fear comes from a sort of slippery slope thinking habit your emotional awareness has of filling the unknown with imagined potential threats.
So is the point of FRM to put a stop to those emotional thinking habits of equating the unknown with death?
