It's worrying that the NHS seem to be rushing the training for a therapy they are offering.

That's not quite true. It's surprising who cope well in fight or flight. It's not always the ones you think will be ok that come through.

Snakes. Now thats cold blooded fear for me and i know i can't supress that fear so i have to get myself out of the situation that involves them.
True, but the adrenaline rush is i would of thought still generated by fear, i mean your not going to be ecstatic that someone is shooting at you unless your expecting it like being in a war zone etc

It's still not all that fun.

No thats true but some very able and confident people really do go to pieces in fight or flight senarios. They may have the adrenalin rush but can't use it to fight or flee. They may have even been in similar situations before but this time they can't operate.

Yes i realise that, it's just i'm saying everyone must suffer fear, it's just some can handle it where others can't

Fear is good as others have said, it's how you use that emotion and control it that counts. Everybody suffers it if course, i would worry if i didn't.
I have a collegue that catastrophises and he knows he does it and has therapy for it. His mind is always 50 steps ahead of everyone else and to see him go through it in some very normal situations is exhausting let alone high pressure situations. I do feel for him, it's debilitating.

But that's the point isn't it? If people are trying to kill you, you should be afraid. Pretending that there is nothing to be afraid of is only going to work if you are exceptionally stupid. And then you'll be too stupid to think of pretending.
Accept the fear and make space for rational thought.
