Drinking alcohol caused me to do foolish things. I would routinely put myself and others in danger when drunk. Yet, did I fear drinking alcohol? I did not. I feared sobriety. Not rational.
There are other irrational emotions. Such as, perhaps, fearing thinking.
Mindfulness is an excellent technique. Definitely look into it!
