Harriet Lerner Quote

Most of us experience fear as a kind of stop sign or flashing red light that warns: 'Danger! Do not enter!' But we may need to decode that signal and consider what it's trying to convey. Fear is a message — sometimes helpful, sometimes not — but often conveying critical information about our beliefs, our needs, and our relationship to the world around us.
