Fear Management (Tudor Hall Course)

07.05.2025

The third lesson in my course for Tudor Hall School looked at management of fear in the theory section and looked at pre-emption in the physical side. The students learned about good fear and bad fear. Good fear alerts us to real dangers that might otherwise be pushed down mentally through social conditioning. These are our "gut feelings". We will explore them in a later lesson on predatory warning signals. Bad fear is what prevents us from progressing, again often through peer pressure. I encouraged active volunteering and taught breath control, all with the goal to take more agency in life.

The physical skills section tested blocking, revealing its inefficiency at close range. We then trained handling threats coming into our personal space. I then layered on the use of the fence to determine whether or not an individual is a genuine threat. This will added on with more pressure testing and impact development next lesson.
