“I AM NOT MY FEAR” asserts that fear has no power over a person’s identity. It sends a strong

message of resiliency, empowerment, and understanding that oneself is more than one’s prob-

lems caused by trauma, anxiety, or sadness. The quote advocates for a new way of thinking that

offers people greater agency and fortitude to confront and overcome their own fears.

*Fear is a powerful, oftentimes limiting force that can have a big effect on someone’s life. It might be harmful to one’s overall wellbeing, personal growth, and relationships. Whether it comes from anxiety, trauma, or other sources, fear can worsen emotional distress, create avoidance behaviors, and limit opportunities. It takes resilience to overcome fear, and it’s often necessary to identify, understand, and actively resiast the influence of fear in order to regain control and live a more fulfilling life.
