In a clinician-approved plan, the learner completes one agreed low-level approach step, records fear channels and safety behaviour, and follows the stop and review rules.
This dossier explains the evidence and its limits. It is not a diagnosis, personal recommendation, assessment, clearance, performance promise or training programme. Actionable teaching appears only when the canonical Power record explicitly authorises it.
Complete bounded explanation
What this power means.
Capability to develop or express fear extinction and courage in a declared context without inheriting broader claims.
What the current evidence supports
Fear responses can change through supervised learning, but extinction is context-bound and courage is not the absence of fear.
How to observe or measure it without overclaiming
Separate subjective fear, physiology, approach, safety, context and meaningful function; no low-fear score defines courage.
Myth
Erase fear and become fearless
Metric
Safe chosen approach and function across contexts with fear channels recorded
Boundary
Extinction is context-bound and cannot define courage or safety.
Negative and limiting findings
Human fear returned when context changed, and affect labeling changed physiology more clearly than self-reported fear.
Claims this evidence cannot support
Erase fear
DIY exposure therapy
Courage means enduring danger
Flood yourself until calm

How to learn this Power now.
In a clinician-approved plan, the learner completes one agreed low-level approach step, records fear channels and safety behaviour, and follows the stop and review rules.
Get readyPrepare a licensed-clinician-led exposure or fear-learning plan using one low-level step selected from an individual hierarchy
Learn the method8 concrete steps teach the permitted method from start to finish.
See right and wrong5 comparisons show correct or safer execution beside common wrong or riskier choices.
PractiseRepeat same hierarchy step only on clinician's schedule until prediction–outcome learning is interpretable across sessions. A later step changes one dose feature at a time & keeps emergency route. Generalisation to a new place, person or cue requires a separate clinician-approved plan.
Check progressFor Fear extinction and courage, measure Safe chosen approach and function across contexts with fear channels recorded. Keep the fear extinction and courage fixture stable. Target: In a clinician-approved plan, the learner completes one agreed low-level approach step, records fear channels and safety behaviour, and follows the stop and review rules. Log fear extinction and courage errors, prompts, burden and stops.
Authority boundary: Titan teaches the complete method; a qualified person controls the parts that require supervision, clearance, specialist equipment, load, dose or progression. The method is Power-specific; its actionability follows this treatment.
Citation roles are explicit. A source may support existence or trainability while simultaneously limiting transfer, certainty, generalisation or safety.

The next gate remains visible.
External confirmation is required before higher-authority use because: a clinical, high-risk or regulated configuration; a supervision or non-attempt boundary; cultural, community-rights or affected-person authority; a restricted safety or legitimacy boundary.
A Power-specific tutorial is available at /tutorials/pwr-167/. It contains a plain-English method, 8 ordered steps, a worked example, right-versus-wrong comparisons, specific mistakes and corrections, practice, measurement, accessibility, stopping rules and evidence. Its supervised mode remains controlling.
