Unit 12: Dealing with Fear of the Future

Uncertainty affects how we think and feel. When we don’t know what will happen, the brain reacts as if there’s a threat. This raises stress and anxiety, makes it harder to focus, and can lead to poor decisions. People may also feel like they’ve lost control, which creates helplessness or avoidance.

✔️ Understand the psychological and social roots of fear about the future.
✔️ Develop tools to reframe uncertainty into opportunity.
✔️ Practice strategies that build resilience and confidence.
