Dear SantaFe:
Fear is a tough thing to overcome, like you wrote, it does make us freeze, makes our brain stop working. How do we get over the fight? Taking on the long process it takes.
The process involves insight into the origin of the fright, usually in childhood. It involves learning and practicing skills to reduce the fear, such as mindfulness. It takes some sort of social support, someone in your corner.
