Following one of the most highly rated presentations of last year’s convention, we are over the moon that Ian Cue presents again this year. His presentation is entitled “The Fear Trap” and will be delivered on Friday morning.
The Presentation:
The Fear Trap
How Fear can keep clients stuck
Fear—it’s like that dodgy SatNav in your brain, always rerouting you back to the same old roads of doubt, hesitation, and, occasionally, terrible life choices. It’s one of the most powerful forces shaping human behaviour, dictating decisions, reinforcing limiting beliefs, and keeping people stuck in patterns they swear they’re done with. Sound familiar? That’s because fear is sneaky—it’s not just something we feel, it’s something that controls us. And for many of our clients, it’s the invisible puppet master pulling the strings.
This talk is all about exposing fear for what it really is – not just an internal panic button but a weapon used by others to create dependency and obedience. Whether it’s an overbearing partner, a toxic workplace, or just that relentless inner critic, fear keeps people in line. Worse still, many of us unknowingly reinforce our own emotional prisons – by avoiding, overthinking, and repeating the same old disempowering stories.
But here’s the good news: as therapists, we can break this cycle. We’re not here to just nod sympathetically and hand out coping strategies—we’re here to dismantle the very foundations of fear-based thinking. This session will take you on a whirlwind of emotions (buckle up), but by the end, you’ll walk away with fresh insights, and maybe even a newfound respect for your own ability to help clients escape the fear trap for good.
