Worry: What Works & What Doesn’t

In this video on “Worrying: What Works and What Doesn’t”, I discuss evidenced based methods that help with worry as well as what research has shown to be ineffective in stopping worry. In fact, I may have gone a bit overboard in this video and given you more information about worry than you cared to know. But, I am not going to worry about that. LOL!

Worrying is a normal human mental activity and it is a major feature of Generalized Anxiety Disorder or GAD. Worrying is a cognitive thinking process and not an emotion. There is productive worry that involves solvable problems that require planning, and then there is unproductive worry. Learning how to effectively cope with worry can help you have less anxiety and experience more joy in your life overall by connecting to the present moment instead of being lost in your head worrying.
