#12 A Worry Management Guide – Putting it all together - Overcoming Worry & Anxiety

Video Description

If you've ever struggled with constant worry, you know how exhausting it can be. Whether you're dealing with current problems or anxieties about what might happen in the future, this episode outlines a structured and research-backed method to help you break the cycle. Using cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), we walk through the complete recipe for managing both Type 1 and Type 2 worries. Type 1 worries are about real, current issues, problems you’re actually facing. Type 2 worries are about imagined future events, scenarios that haven’t happened and may never happen. This video explains how to identify which type of worry you're experiencing and gives you a step-by-step framework for tackling each. You’ll learn how intolerance of uncertainty, negative problem orientation, and worry-related beliefs keep worry alive and what to do about them. We also introduce tools like worry awareness training, uncertainty tolerance strategies, belief challenging techniques, problem-solving steps, and cognitive exposure to reduce the emotional power of worry thoughts. Even if you're not always sure what kind of worry you're having, the model is designed to be self-correcting. This makes it easier to apply in real life without getting stuck. This approach is based on years of CBT research and clinical experience working with people with generalized anxiety disorder and chronic worry.
