Overcoming Fears

Overcoming Fears is part of the Cutting Edge Communication Comedy Series. Short, sharp and entertaining with a team of characters and simple messages and skills for everyone, including strategies for reducing fears.

In Overcoming Fears, almost everyone at Cutting Edge admits to having fears. Marcus worries about Sam scrutinizing him. Casey thinks Carol is always pouncing on her mistakes. Dion is afraid that he is considered to be too young for his role. Barney states that fear is all in the mind, while Steve says FEAR stands for False Expectations Appearing Real. Sam recommends deliberately tensing ones body and then releasing fears in one big breath. Dion uses a mindfulness technique with Marcus, hypnotizing him to visualize Sam as a chicken whenever his fear response of Sam is triggered.
