ABSTRACT
Fear and strategies for its positive engagement are elucidated in Chapter 13. This chapter and the next focus on the feeling part of fear. Chapter 13 examines the physiological impact of fear on the body and applies the A, B, Cs of emotion exclusively to fear. Productive fear expression begins with allowing and accepting fear. The critical role of directly experiencing fear means learning to breathe through it. Constructively channeling fear includes the lost art of crying as a nonverbal means of expressing emotion. Thus, counselors and educators are offered a protocol to use with teens to detoxify crying. Four activities conclude the chapter. The activity sheets begin an emotion-sensitive protocol for conflict resolution that continues in the next chapter. The two activity sheets are Win-win Conflict Resolution with Emotion and the accompanying Worksheet One on the same topic.
