Dr. Mary Vieten | Stop Retreating From Your Fear

  • Summary

  • FEAR = False Evidence Appearing Real When I first saw this acronym, a BIG light bulb went off. For the first time, I realized that there’s absolutely ZERO truth behind the door of our fear. Although WHAT we fear isn’t real, the WHY behind our fear is. …and a lot of it has to do with the lies we believe or the lie-based stories we tell ourselves. So, what do you do when you feel trapped by your fear? Today’s Guest answers this question and then some. This week, I sit down with 22-year U.S. Navy Veteran, Executive Director of Warfighter Advance, and Internationally Recognized Clinical Psychologist, Dr. Mary Vieten. For decades, this woman has helped American war heroes overcome their fears and severe levels of trauma. She’s going to break down how we can master ours. Dr. Mary draws from personal stories and real-life experiences while she unpacks a range of topics from hilarious military moments to serious mental health concerns. Join us as we reflect on the strength of overcoming fear and trauma, as well as the significance of showing up for those who come to us in times of need. If you want to overcome your fears more confidently and consistently, then don’t miss today’s episode.
