In the throes of worrying, it's a great time to ask themselves, what am I getting from this? So they could write the question down on a piece of paper to concretize it or simply ask themselves. Is this worrying solving the problem or is it just rehashing it over and over in my head? And for a lot of people, worry just makes them feel more anxious.
Addiction psychiatrist Judson Brewer, M.D. (author, Unwinding Anxiety) explains the surprising connection between bad habits and anxiety. Dr. Jud and Greg discuss how fear, worry, and evolutionary origins contribute to addictive behaviors and cycles. They explore specific techniques and a step-by-step process to effectively reduce anxiety.
