Getting Over the Fear of Falling (Bouldering)

Hello all! This was such a highly requested video, and to be honest, I'm glad it's all over! My palms are getting sweaty (mom spaghetti) just by remembering all that editing I did!
We are all on our own journeys getting over this (pretty rational!) fear of falling and injuring ourselves. Some of us experience it more intensely than others, and that's okay! The point of bouldering is to have fun, and if your fears are interfering with your bouldering, then hopefully this video is somewhat helpful for you!
...Perhaps, though, you're nervous to take a fall outside? Or maybe the idea of falling while sport climbing makes your head spin? These are all ideas for future videos that I will make WHEN and only WHEN I get over those fears myself! AHHHHhh!

The playlist that I've created with all the falling videos is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_-J6nSube00&list=PLfbHmBfB2hVXnVZhfEHv1PJfvChOdQbVA
