Fear is our friend. It is a wake-up call that helps us react to potential dangers, activating the body and mind to process the resources necessary to face a threat or avoid it, as well as prevent it. So even when faced with an emergency such as the spread of COVID-19 infection, being afraid is absolutely normal and healthy. The author, an affirmed psychiatrist, explains that the first step in overcoming fear is accepting it, the second is managing it and the third is dealing with it. Because fears must not become excessive and uncontrolled, especially in the face of a pandemic, in which the invisibility of the enemy can trigger strong reactions and lead to panic. Nor must they be transformed into phobias, a very powerful conditioning on our freedom to act. In this ebook, the author offers useful behavioral strategies and techniques to recognize and manage our fears in the current emergency situation and in the recovery phases that will follow.
