I always love this article on fear, partly because there is no great conclusion. It does give some possible ways to work with it. Everyone who deals with TMS skillfully has fears. Fear is a great distractor, more powerful than the symptoms themselves.

One way to work with fear moment-to-moment is to inquire: "If I wasn't feeling this fear, what would I be aware of in my life?" Try to go deeper than the fear. This will give you more tolerance of the fear, more witnessing, as well as bringing yourself back to "thinking psychologically."
