I like that because it frames it as not something aspirationally amazing or whatever, and it lets you look and sound like a maniac while you do it; you aren't expected to be mature, calm, or rational-sounding by that framing. all you have to do is do it. and screaming is not only acceptable but encouraged!
so even before we get to how the initial bit is a validating frame, "run straight at it screaming" is very different, to me, than "face your fears!" even though yes if you dig down it does contain the same fundamental coping technique.
being ready to hear it is important, too, for sure but I feel like the frame honestly matters a lot, too.
