About this listen

Some trial attorneys will discuss the concept of fear, that gripping emotion that can cause us to doubt just about everything that we are doing.

Oftentimes, those discussions of fear are general in nature but are not really identified. That makes fear this boogey man that is lurking but mysterious, never really able to be mastered.

In this episode, we do a deep dive into the various types of fears that trial lawyers face. We identify the types of fears that pop up, identify when they are most likely to happen, and discuss ways that we have confronted and overcome those fears.

Those fears include:

  • fear of failure and losing;
  • fear of rejection;
  • fear of the "unknowns";
  • performance anxiety;
  • fear of getting in trouble or making mistakes

Any attorney who is doing things on their own will feel, at least temporarily, these emotions. And there can be a healthy dose of fear when doing these things.

We identify when those fears become unhealthy and offer tips for triumphing over fear.
