The opposite of fear is warm, friendly openness. A type of openness that is embracing. Fear is contracting and isolating. So the opposite embraces and enjoys. We could say the opposite of fear is love, but love has an even wider potential than openness and is a wider remedy. You could say that love is the generic remedy for all disconcerting emotions.
Live Science: Brain Has Backup Circuit for Fear
The brain's "fear center" doesn't need to be working for an animal to learn to be afraid, according to a new study of rats. If the region is damaged, another area can take the reins and allow the brain to continue to form fear-driven, emotional memories.
This brain region, known as the bed nuclei, will step in only when the region linked with fear, the amygdala, is not functioning, the researchers say.
