Talk About The Elephant In The Room!
(Or, "My Fear Of Republican Extremists")
Sometimes, we need to "talk about the elephant in the room!" In other words, we sometimes need to talk about "a major problem or controversial issue that is obviously present but avoided as a subject for discussion because it is more comfortable to do so."
And the reason that we sometimes need to "talk about the elephant in the room" is because of our own fear.
Therefore, we sometimes need to talk about our fear in a safe, non-judgmental environment—such as with family, or friends, or in a therapeutic setting—so that we can face our fear and, thusly, we can transform and, consequently, heal the energy of our fear.
For example, I need to "talk about the elephant in the room" with regard to my fear that Republican Extremists have taken over the government of United States of America on behalf of wealthy elitists, such as the Koch Brothers (in other words, "the millionaire and billionaire classes"), who have publicly acknowledged wishing to turn America into an oligarchy!
