05 Jun Worry Exploration Exercise

When people worry, they tend to imagine the worst thing that could possibly happen. In this Worry Exploration Exercise you will go through few specific question to analyse the worrying thinking. In reality, these worries may never come true. What could happen isn’t the same as what will happen.

You are encouraged to explore the most likely outcomes for your worried-about situation, rather than the worst imaginable outcomes.

The questions you will need to ask are:

• What is something you are worried about?
• What are some clues that your worry will not come true?
• If your worry does not come true, what will probably happen instead?
• If your worry does come true, how will you handle it? Will you eventually be okay?
• When will (in timeframe) the worry will likely happen?
