FearJust as Angst is the Affect which motivates towards the Effect of Development, Fear is the Affect whichmotivates towards the Effect of Safety, . This is in the domain of Crisis. Fear can be Remedial and often motivates in the direction of Safety. The Remedial Model of Change is said to work as follows:
Problem + Resource ->Desired This is in contrast to the Generative Model of Change which works differently, as follows: Resource ->(introduced into) Problem State ->Desired State In the Generative Model of Change the Resource is introduced as a Set-Up.

Fear - Angst - Development - SafetyThe four boxes in FADS represent the same situation as seen from four different feeling states. So each box contains the same circumstances (e.g., the Whats, Hows and Whys of a problem) but a different feeling. A person may find him/herself stuck in, or focusing on, only one of these spaces. This model can then be used to try shifting to another of the spaces.The insight, knowledge or understanding gained from one box or space will, to a greater or lessor degree, be transferred or mapped across from the box the person was in, to the box she or he moves into. For example, if the person is seeing a situation from the Fear box, we might find that Safety is chosen as the next box. Now in Safety, Fear may seem remediated. From Safety, Development might be the next box chosen, from which generative feelings, thoughts or actions might seem possible. Movement from any box to any box is possible, although some movements may be easier or more common. Going from Fear to Safety tends to be remedial. Going from Angst to Development tends to be generative. This is a model of orientation; and suggests motive force. FADS was developed to use emotion in thinking through issues; it helps answer Why there is connection with other thoughts. This complements motivation as seen from the more classic control-affiliation perspective found in Motivation Triangle.
Feelings are hybrids of thoughts, actions and emotions. Feelings about feelings and feelings about events are more common. Identifying them as such is more useful. When a feeling is identified, ask what is being attended to at that moment? (If a thought is identified, what does it feel like?)

Reflections[The theory seems to be that connections become formed between very particular aspects - such as a particular emotion connected to the What of a problem - which comes out as a troublesome Feeling. When modeled, we discover this to be arbitrary, not supported, or mitigated by other experience - which experience may show that that What is actually integrated into How and Why. Change work shows this enhanced model to the client. With the more complete and accurate model "installed", the client's initial Feeling is no longer troublesome.][Clients may express their thinking in terms of in-time elements. Theory asserts, however, that the mind operates in terms not just of discreet, in-time Whats, but that Scope and Connections are present - they just might not be arranged in ways that enhance choice or resourcefulness (may not correspond very well to How It Works). Adding useful between-time or through-time elements can reveal more useful scope and connections and thus provide needed enhancements to the client's model.] [Whether the human mind actually operates in terms of what, how, why, etc. may not be the issue. This framework provides a method to organize or re-organize experience to allow people more facility and choice in feeling, thinking and doing.] [SEE Difficulty/Problem/Limitation]
