- I have a question about this episode Lessons from Stoicism and The Military | Nancy Sherman | The Knowledge Project 126 and this Emotions and Reflection. Andrew talks about a process to erase fear and traumas, and he says that first you need to extinguish the fear or trauma by retelling the narrative.
