FEATURES:

Spinning Fear
Every generation has its own story of how fear has resulted in actions under the guise of “protection” that have been dangerous, or pointless, or served to distract us from the true nature of our problems. A handful of words, stated with conviction, delivered with authority, and repeated in the echo chamber of the media, will provoke fear in society.
Sarri Gilman, MA


Fear and the Family
Families are faced with a number of stifling challenges today. While the economy, job loss, and the housing market crisis may allude to the increasing numbers of disorders in America, child and family experts have a different cause for concern. Fear is creating an epidemic in American families today.
Lisa Pisha, MS

The Neuroscience of Fear

Have you ever thought about what it would be like to experience a frightening situation, such as a robbery or car accident? Learn how the mind and body respond and function during such intense situations.
MaryAnne Banich Massey, EdS
