Stories, Brain Science, and the Transformation of Fear
Manage episode 283434345 series 2842347
As parents, we all encounter a child’s fear from time to time - often from a scary story or a movie. It’s a terrible feeling, right? It’s one thing to deal with your own fear, but seeing it erupt in your child can make you feel powerless.
In this episode, Joseph Sarosy draws upon the work of neuroscientists to explain how a well-placed story can ease and even transform fear. Not erase it. Not distract from it. But how a story helps us look fear right in the face, and change it.
