How am I today?

Topic: Fear and trust I

Fear as an evolutionary sensible emotion: warning from dangers/the unknown.

Learning zones model: No pressure, but an awareness that boundaries have to be transgressed at times to make new experiences and to progress (expansion of one’s comfortzone)

Confrontations rationale: Taking an excerpt from Ronja, the Robber's daughter: it is necessary to confront what we fear to learn how to deal with it.
