Catastrophizing: Ruminating on the Worst Possible Outcome, No Matter How Unlikely
The discussion begins with the challenge of accessibility in community settings and the fight against economic injustice. It delves into the all-too-common mental trap of catastrophizing, linking it to our evolutionary background and childhood experiences. Strategies to counteract this thinking, such as value-based actions and the TIPS approach from dialectical behavior therapy, are presented. The benefits of mindfulness and exercise for stress relief are highlighted, along with a meditative writing practice to help process intrusive thoughts.
