Remember, Your Life Would Go On Even If A Bad Thing Happened

Many very anxious people are consumed with fear of their own potential devastation or inability to cope if a bad thing were to happen to them. Some examples include:

• What if my partner was unfaithful or left me?
• What if my partner died?
• What if my child got ill?
• What if I was no longer physically attractive?
• What if I die earlier than expected?

And so on. This episode discusses who falls prey to obsessing about these negative outcomes, why, and how to reframe these fears, guided by a more objective lens. The post about this is here:https://www.drpsychmom.com/your-life-would-always-go-on-even-if-a-bad-thing-happened/
