Fear is an unpleasant emotion. We feel a knot in our throat, we tremble, we sweat, our heart feels like it's about to break, we struggle to breathe even when it's a vague and rational fear! What can one say when they can no longer breathe, speak, when their whole body seems to be paralyzed?
Becoming the master of your fear doesn't mean not feeling fear anymore, but accepting it, so that you can be free from "the fear of fear".
Before you can effectively combat your fears, you must learn exactly what it is that scares you, how you react to the object of your phobia, how you handle moments of panic, and how it affects the way you organize your life. Once you know the "enemy", you can, if you want, learn some techniques that will allow you to tame your despair.
