058 - The Coach Up: Use the 4 P's to Respond Not React

NOTE

Master Your Anxiety: Respond, Don't React

Anxiety can be understood through the analogy of a response mechanism, similar to reacting instinctively to danger. Just as one quickly pulls away from a hot stove, anxiety triggers a strong reaction that often leads to worry and rumination, reinforcing the fear associated with it. Instead of merely reacting to anxiety, one can learn to respond to it in a more constructive way. This involves staying with the difficult feelings and thoughts, akin to keeping a hand on the hot stove, and requires support and guidance from others. By practicing this approach, individuals can train themselves to regulate their emotions and develop healthier coping strategies, shifting from a reactive mindset to a responsive one.
