emotional inspiring reflective sad

I knew Sarah Polley only from a B level horror movie, but not by name. I did enjoy these essays but the last one (Run Towards the Danger) may have legitimately changed my life. I have a severe phobia that deeply affects me on a daily basis and that I know affects my child as well. I happened to read this essay when I was at a particularly difficult time with my phobia, and "Run Towards the Danger" has spoken to my rational brain in a way I needed.
