Do not feed the monkey! How to break free from the vicious circle of worry and anxiety

I know how to overcome any fear and relieve stress. Bold statement, right? I am a therapist specializing in the treatment of anxiety disorders for 20 years now. Besides, I have never been the lucky owner of a calm nervous system. Chronic nightmares, mysterious stomach pains, and endless engulfing fear - these are my old friends. Panic would hit me for any reason: what if the stocks crash? what if my child gets sick? what if I don't get enough sleep and can't work properly?
Soon I realized: it's not about changing the reasons for fears, but my reactions to them. Moreover, focusing on what supports and "feeds" our problems hinders any sphere of activity. Whether you want to get rid of a specific problem (such as panic attacks) or just want to live a happier, more successful, and peaceful life - the tools to achieve the goal will be the same.
