It’s important to be realistic when using these self-soothing practices. They
aren’t necessarily going to obliterate your fear from existence or immediately
wipe the slate of your mind clean. Instead, the purpose of them is to help you
gently and lovingly be present with your fear and support yourself through it
so that you feel better. Escaping fear isn’t the answer (it only causes it to build
in the unconscious) – mindfully experiencing it in a self-caring way is.
