Lets use the example of fear of emotions to illustrate the Twelve Nidanas of dependent origination.
1. Ignorance (avijja): The person lacks understanding of the true nature of reality, including the impermanence and emptiness of emotions.
2. Mental formations (sankhara): Due to ignorance, the person has formed habitual patterns of avoiding or suppressing their emotions.
3. Consciousness (viññana): The persons consciousness is conditioned by these mental formations, making them prone to feeling fearful or anxious around their emotions.
4. Name and form (nama-rupa): The persons body and mind (psychophysical constituents) manifest in a way that is susceptible to anxiety and fear in regards to their emotions.
5. The six sense bases (salayatana): The persons sense organs (sight, hearing, smell, taste, touch, and mind) interact with the external world.
6. Contact (phassa): The person encounters situations or people that trigger certain emotions, creating a sense of anxiety or fear.
7. Feeling (vedana): The person experiences an unpleasant feeling as a result of the contact with their emotions, creating a sense of anxiety or fear.
8. Craving (tanha): The person develops a craving to avoid or escape from their emotions, in search of a more comfortable and pleasant state of mind.
9. Clinging (upadana): The person finds temporary relief from their emotions by avoiding or suppressing them, reinforcing their fear of emotions and attachment to avoidance.
10. Becoming (bhava): This clinging to avoiding or suppressing emotions reinforces the persons habitual patterns and karmic tendencies, perpetuating the cycle of fear around emotions.
11. Birth (jati): The persons fear of emotions manifests in the form of anxiety or avoidance around their emotions, causing suffering and a lack of emotional self-awareness.
12. Old age and death (jara-marana): The persons fear of emotions, if left unaddressed, can lead to physical, mental, and emotional suffering and perpetuate negative consequences in future situations or even future lives.
This example demonstrates how the Twelve Nidanas can be applied to the fear of emotions. By recognizing the interdependent nature of the Twelve Links, a person can develop insight and cultivate skillful means for working with their emotions, ultimately leading to greater understanding, peace, and freedom from suffering.

How to break cycle at each point:

To break the cycle of the fear of emotions at each point in the twelve nidanas of dependent origination, one can apply the following:

1. Ignorance (Avijja): By developing mindfulness and insight into the true nature of emotions, one can reduce ignorance and understanding that emotions are temporary and do not define their sense of self. Mindfulness meditation can help to cultivate insight into emotions and their impermanent nature.

2. Mental formations (Sankhara): By developing positive habitual patterns of responding to emotions, such as adopting a compassionate and open-minded approach, one can reduce the tendency to avoid or suppress emotions.

3. Consciousness (Vijnana): With mindfulness and insight from step 1, one can reduce the conditioned fear and anxiety associated with emotions, leading to greater emotional stability and freedom.

4. Name and form (Nama-rupa): By understanding that emotions are not permanent and do not define ones sense of self, one can reduce the sense of unease and intolerance associated with emotions.

5. The six sense bases (Salayatana): By practicing restraint of the senses and developing equanimity towards emotional stimuli, one can reduce the tendency to react negatively to emotional triggers.

6. Contact (Phassa): By being mindful of emotional triggers and applying wisdom, one can reduce the potential for negative responses to emotional stimuli.

7. Feeling (Vedana): By developing equanimity towards emotions and understanding their impermanent nature, one can reduce the sense of anxiety or fear that arises from unpleasant feelings.

8. Craving (Tanha): By recognizing that avoiding or suppressing emotions is not a sustainable or effective way to deal with them, one can reduce the desire to escape or avoid emotions.

9. Clinging (Upadana): By working with emotions in a constructive and compassionate way, one can reduce the attachment to avoidance and suppression of emotions.

10. Becoming (Bhava): By developing positive patterns of responding to emotions, one can reduce negative karmic tendencies associated with fear of emotions, leading to emotional growth and maturity.

11. Birth (Jati): By developing emotional intelligence and awareness, one can reduce the suffering and anxiety associated with emotions, leading to greater emotional freedom and fulfillment.

12. Old age and death (Jara-marana): By breaking the cycle of fear of emotions, one can reduce the potential for physical, mental, and emotional suffering and live a more fulfilling life.
