Fear is an emotional reaction to a perceived departure from your emotional attachment to the way you think things ought to be. The severity of the attachment determines the debilitating severity of the resulting Fear.
ANGER
Complaint, with the volume turned up.
An extreme emotional attachment to the way you think things ought to be, and a reactive resistance to your perception of a departure from that.
REMORSE
An emotional attachment to the way you think you ought to be, and a reactive awareness of your departure from that ideal.

Because these conditions were never reasoned into in the first place, they cannot be reasoned out of. The way out is intuitive/emotional. This is not about change: this is about transformation.
A goose was once raised in a large bottle. As it grew, however, it became too large for the bottle. Question:- How do you get the goose out, without damaging either the goose or the bottle? Answer:- The goose is out. It was never in in the first place -- that was a lie.
For peace of no-mind, all attachments must be dropped. Let 'em go (and don't get attached to getting unattached!)
