Topic: Worry


  
  treatment of specific anxiety-based problems, worry and shyness - psychological self-help
Worry is an unpleasant, upsetting activity that we'd like to stop but we can't; sometimes we can hardly think of anything else and can't sleep.
Worry is not a simple reaction, it is complex, including conditioned emotional reflexes possibly learned even in childhood, ingrained habits of responding, and cognitive processes that exaggerate the dangers ahead, set impossible or unrealistic standards, and reflect low self-confidence.
One could also reduce worrying by changing one's thoughts, such as correcting unwarranted negative expectations, reducing tendencies to falsely view current situations negatively ("awfulizing"), giving up overly demanding perfectionistic standards ("I must always be right") and by correcting the refusal to accept the lawfulness of all behavior ("It's got to be different").

 Why Worry? (children, worry, terrorism)
Worry begins in ignorance: "I don't know why my child isn't home by the time we agreed upon." It is made threatening by asking an anxious question: "What if my child has gotten into trouble?" Jumping to a fearful answer or conclusion completes the worry: "My child has probably been in a terrible accident!"
Don't equate worrying with caring: "Well, if I didn't love you, I wouldn't worry about you so!" Driving yourself crazy with worry on behalf of your child is not an act of love, it is an act of fear.
The lesson is: keep worries as close to the present as possible, and no further than the near future.
