Ann-Marie - Module 6

Definitely one of the most useful things that I’ve learned is to ask myself, what’s the likelihood of x happening. I’ve actually posted it in a few places where I tend to worry the most, like in the car while I’m driving and stuck in traffic, at home on the fridge, and on my binder at work. The worries still come, but at least I feel like I can do something about them a little more.

I didn’t realize how many safety behaviours I use. I wasn’t sure whether they were all necessarily safety behaviours, like bringing the mini first-aid kit wherever I go. If I’m feeling brave this week, I might try not bringing them to check out whether they really are safety behaviours.

 

 

Subtle avoidance	Cognitive Avoidance	Safety Behaviours
	Worry about anything and everything.	Bringing mini first-aid kit everywhere.
	Distraction – though it really doesn’t work.	Bringing the kiddie bag stocked with anything that I could possibly need for the kids.
	Trying to tell myself that everything will be ok.
