Lead: "The fear of mistakes is greater than the will to make a decision"
Emergency doctor Lisa Federle explains why people with a high level of resilience work through their fears, why the country remains in a state of paralysis - and what helps against fear-mongering policies.
German emergency doctor Lisa Federle has written a book about anxiety, drawing from her experiences with patients. She notes that anxiety is a common but rarely discussed feeling, even in leadership circles, and can have destructive consequences if left unaddressed. Federle believes that people often use work or other distractions as a self-protective mechanism to avoid dealing with their fears, but this can ultimately lead to burnout and other problems.
She suggests that building a support network and becoming more aware of one's thoughts and behaviors can help mitigate anxiety.
