Fear blocks our brain and thus prevents a constructive and forward-looking approach to the threatening situation. This book helps to break this vicious cycle. It includes an exclusive interview with the renowned neuroscientist Gerald Hüther on the accompanying CD. Life crises, such as those caused by a serious illness or trauma, always trigger difficult-to-manage fears. However, fear blocks our brain and prevents a constructive and forward-looking approach to the threatening situation. The goal of the book is to dissolve fear blockages and enable those affected to regain their ability to act and make decisions. The accompanying audio CD deepens the understanding of neurobiological connections in the development and management of fear. In a conversation lasting about an hour, the well-known neurobiologist answers questions posed by the authors.
