Matilda,
The author is Susan Jeffers. It's an older book (1987), but I don't think that matters. Dealing with fear is a timeless issue. I've just started reading it, but will share ideas, as I proceed thru the book. The title again is "Feel the Fear and Do it Anyway.

It is a self-help book that is an easy read, but with ideas that can be empowering, and can help to cultivate courage, so that one can move thru fear, break avoidance patterns, and face whatever is fearful.
