I will not let fear run my life and if I feel fearful, if I feel fear coming, if I feel anxiety coming, I'm going to take a close look at my behavior at that moment.
Fear is something we all face, but for Shama Persson, it was a shadow that loomed over her life for years. In this episode of 'From Darkness to Light', Shama opens up about her personal battles with fear, stemming from early childhood traumas, anxiety, addiction, and even the heartbreak of losing her fiancé in a plane crash. Her story isn't just about surviving these challenges but learning to thrive despite them.
Shama reveals how fear can be deeply unconscious, driving us to make reactive decisions or feel overwhelmed by emotions. She compares fear to an addiction—something that controls us unless we actively work on it. Through her candid reflections, she emphasizes the importance of seeking professional help and support to tackle these deep-seated fears. One of the most poignant moments in the episode is when Shama discusses how unresolved grief from her fiancé's death continues to affect her nervous system.
She talks about the necessity of confronting such pain head-on, rather than letting it fester. Shama believes that working through our fears can lead us to a place of peace, where we can accept life's ups and downs without being consumed by them. The episode also delves into how fear impacts our relationships. Shama explains that we often use our partners or children as shields against loneliness, leading to dysfunctional dynamics.
She stresses the need for honesty and authenticity in our relationships, which requires us to face and work through our fears. Therapy plays a crucial role in Shama's journey. She shares how a good therapist can help us uncover hidden resources within ourselves, allowing us to process past traumas and move forward without being held back by them.
Her message is clear: to live a life not ruled by fear, we must address our issues today, without letting the past or future dictate our actions. For anyone grappling with fear, anxiety, or addiction, this episode offers a blend of personal experience and practical advice. Shama's insights remind us that while fear may drive insane behavior, it can also be transformed into a source of strength and love.
