Presented by Caroline Phipps
Fear is a natural part of being human, beginning early in life. This powerful survival response protects us: our pupils widen, breathing speeds up, and adrenaline surges. It once helped our ancestors escape physical danger, but today, many perceived threats exist in our minds and linger. Even when we are physically safe, fears of failure, judgment, speaking up, rejection, or illness can trigger the same response, as can scrolling through the news. Fear can limit us; facing it helps us grow.
In this workshop, Facing Your Fears, we will explore strategies for facing our fears with Jason Laramore, a combat veteran of Iraq and Afghanistan, who will share his experiences. Following an unstable and traumatic childhood, Jason signed up for the military, serving eight years, much of it in combat. After leaving the military, Jason spent three brutal years working as a deckhand in Alaska's unforgiving waters. The physical grind was relentless, but the weight of his past was heavier. In 2015, years of accumulated pain and trauma came to a breaking point, and Jason reached a moment where his life could have ended, a crossroads born of despair and exhaustion. Yet what felt like the end became, with courage and understanding, a transformation of his fears into positive, life-affirming change.
