In my experience, the learning and change comes from what happens after I recognize the fear. If can I can then raise my awareness so that I notice times when I'm not in the suffering from the fear, then I can use intention to catch myself before I'm going into the suffering, or at least to get out faster. Awareness that I have a choice is really important for me. I'm not necessarily able to "prevent" but even recognizing when I'm in it helps me get out of it. Steve, yes, that’s the trick, isn’t it?
