Want to stop letting fear get in the way of doing things that you want to do? This talk explores why approaching things that make us anxious is good for our health and quality of life. We will highlight how social support makes it easier to approach uncomfortable situations rather than avoid them and why this can lead to improved individual well-being and more satisfying relationships.
