Without that preparation and practice, without having a plan and the physical ability to carry it out, we tend to freeze up.
And this generalizes all over the place. Public speaking, hard conversations, finding out I was wrong, accepting accountability, being authentic and vulnerable, helping people in crisis, anytime that I realize my behavior (usually avoidance) is being directed by fear. This is another kind of courage, I don't have a perfect name for, let's call it Relational Courage.
