Deep dives

Understanding Worry Chatter

Worry chatter involves thoughts about the future with a tone of fear or protection, such as 'What if...' scenarios. The process to manage worry chatter starts with acknowledging the brain's intent to protect, compassionately handling the worry, and reframing with self-compassion. By realizing that worry thoughts focus on improbable threats, individuals can reframe the worries, use talkback sentences like 'I've handled it before, I'll handle it again,' and address the problem-solving aspect without getting stuck in endless worrying cycles.
