None of us live a life without worries. Everyone is a little worried sometimes. If we did not have this ability, our species would not survive. If the worries become so extensive that it affects everyday life and prevents the user from achieving what they want, this tool can be a good help in reducing the level of worry. The tool addresses what generalized anxiety, worry and rumination actually are, what the difference is, and tips, tasks and techniques to reduce this.
For some, worrying and rumination can become so stressful that it becomes disruptive to daily functioning or relationships. In this tool you will learn to become aware of thoughts and feelings and techniques that can be used to reduce these feelings.
This tool helps you understand and manage worry and generalized anxiety disorder (GAD). It consists of six parts:
You learn about normal worry, the different types of worry, and how to get started with structured steps for change.
You gain insight into GAD, its symptoms, causes, and common attitudes that maintain anxiety. The goal is increased awareness and understanding.
You explore how rumination and worry affect your life, and use tools like “office time” for rumination, challenging unhelpful thoughts, and managing worries more constructively.
You learn to distinguish between solvable problems and unhelpful worries. You practice finding solutions, deciding on actions, and carrying them out step by step.
You practice accepting uncertainty, managing stress, and tolerating emotions. Mindfulness techniques help you increase calmness and presence.
You look back on what you have learned, prepare for setbacks, and make a prevention plan to handle worries in the long run.
