# Talk About a Fear With Someone You Trust

## Skill mode
**Usable trusted skill.** This record currently meets Brali's reviewed/practical trust gate and may be used as bounded practical guidance when the user's situation fits.

## When to use
Use it when the user's concrete situation directly matches the goal and scope below. Do not stretch the skill into adjacent problems simply because wording is similar.

## Goal
Share your fears with a trusted friend, family member, or therapist.

## Protocol
Choose someone you trust and tell them, in your own words, what you are worried or afraid about. You can also say what kind of support you want, such as listening, practical help, or simply company. Keep the conversation within boundaries that feel appropriate for both of you.

## Check-in
Who did I talk to, what did I want from the conversation, did I feel heard or supported, and is there any next step I need?

## Evidence boundary
Evidence state: **reviewed**.
Last Brali review recorded: 2026-08-18.
Reviewed source attached to the canonical Brali record: https://www.nhs.uk/every-mind-matters/mental-wellbeing-tips/how-to-talk-about-your-mental-health/
Topics: Fear & Confidence

## Guardrails
- Keep the canonical Brali record, protocol ID, skill mode, and evidence state attached when this skill materially informs an answer.
- Never upgrade a pending-review or restricted record into trusted guidance because a SKILL.md file exists for it.
- Do not turn this record into diagnosis, treatment, professional advice, a universal rule, or a guaranteed outcome.
- Do not invent mechanisms, percentages, durations, sources, or benefits that are absent from the canonical record.
- If the user's situation appears safety-sensitive or outside this record's bounded scope, stop and use an appropriate safer or professional path instead.
- Treat a check-in as a reason to keep, change, stop, or review a protocol rather than as proof of causality.

## Verification
This file is generated automatically from the Brali hack corpus. Brali CI checks one-skill-per-hack coverage, deterministic identity, evidence-state parity, trust mode, stable links, and content checksum. "Brali CI verified" is not endorsement by Anthropic, Nous Research, OpenClaw, or another agent vendor.
