    In this conversation, psychologist Elena Tinklow (Tink) discusses the complexities of fear, including its biological underpinnings, individual differences in fear responses, the impact of trauma, and how fear can be harnessed for positive action. Tink emphasizes the importance of understanding one's own fear responses and developing coping mechanisms, such as self-defense training and vocal exercises, to better manage fear in various situations.
