Expectation alarm: a guide to cognitive-behavioral therapy to overcome chronic indecision, avoidance and catastrophic thinking.
Do you often have to fear any event for many days or weeks before it? With varying success, you persuade yourself to go somewhere, while planning a retreat, explanation of failure, bringing yourself anxiety to a painful state? We can talk about a social event, a speech or visit to the doctor. Or even about your own wedding, a meeting with an old friend or a journey. But for you, it would seem, everyday events turn into an unbearable test. If you can identify yourself with such situations, then most likely you suffer from anxiety of expectation.
Traditional attempts to "cope with anxiety" often mean the desire to “get rid of anxiety ", which in paradoxically leads only to its strengthening. The authors claim that a more useful approach is to allow anxiety to exist and accept it. The methods of this book, based on the modern principles of evidence -based psychology, will help you in accepting your feelings. You will "catch" thoughts that make you avoid certain events and drive you into a stupor. Productive work with anxiety of expectation will give you the opportunity to choose your own path, getting rid of the burden of anxious restrictions. You will be free from catastrophic thinking.
When you learn to succumb to less restless perfectionism, you can move forward, making the best possible decisions. And most importantly, you can meet your fears face to face and lead an energetic, passionate lifestyle
