"Dr. Stella integrates cutting edge neuroscience, millennia old meditation practices, and decades of clinical experience to provide hope and concrete guidance to anyone trapped in the revolving door of their own fears. Fear Traps provides breakthrough understandings and clear guidance for adolescents, adults, and seniors to systematically free themselves from what can feel like inescapable anxieties and fears."

"A must-have resource for anyone stuck in a cycle of fear."

-Celia Oliver, PhD, PsyD President of the New Hampshire Psychological Association

"Dr. Stella's book is one of hope. It chronicles the lives of several of her clients as they use the Courageous Brain Process to identify, navigate, and overcome the patterns that are stifling them. I've used Doctor Stella's process to remake my own emotional matrix. I can personally attest to its transformational power. I experience greater resilience, wellbeing, and deep swells of spontaneous happiness as a direct result of the practice. It's been a lifesaver for me."
