Fear Facer is a half hour lifestyle/documentary series that will showcase people who are striving to overcome their fear – caused by experiencing a debilitating trauma – and live their lives. A trauma can be caused by a single or a repeated experience and it can completely overwhelm a person. Trauma symptoms can be delayed – by weeks, years, even decades, as the individual struggles to contend with it. Through a combination of martial arts, psychotherapy and with the support of other experts as needed, each individual will confront their trauma, and travel the road to renewal. Fear Facer is a courageous emotional journey that will transform the people involved, and transform you as well.
