I did in fact have a recent experience where I was going "I seem to be very afraid in this situation and I'm not sure what to do about this" and a little shoulder @m_ashcroft appeared and asked me what would happen if I just stopped being afraid.
Very annoying that it worked.https://twitter.com/GeniesLoki/status/1311960595403616258 …

I'd also add that 'inhibition' in Alexander Technique is not about turning off feelings, but in noticing our habitual responses to them (where feelings can be stimuli) and then not doing the habitual response. It's from that place that *other options* become available.

Yeah, that's fair. I don't think what I was doing was literally inhibition applied to the fear, it's a bit more complicated than that. I really should attend your classes because I still don't really understand how AT frames a lot of this, but it's still been useful as a pointer
