The debilitating scourge of fear

Are we aware of how fear permeates our lives? or is it something that has become so normal that we just take it as part and parcel of who we are? I have been wondering if this pattern of behaviour then leads to us looking the other way with abuse and we then end up with the society we now have where domestic violence is considered part of the fabric of our community, corruption in business and our major institutions is expected, the press control and manipulate through the use of fear, the courts have us living in fear of not being believed. 

My guests today are Annette Baker and Gabrielle Caplice and together we look at how fear has become part of the fabric of our upbringing and means we struggle to open ourselves up in relationship. We look at what the impact of that might be and how we can support ourselves and each other to be ok with making mistakes and speaking up in life.
