26 分钟Have you ever had a moment where one thought, just one thought,
sent you into a spiral of uncertainty, fear, shame and panic?
And then as if that wasn't enough,
that one thought or maybe many thoughts caused you to completely change the plan for your day.
This is such a common thing and it's so easy when you're anxious to completely abort the plan and give all of your attention to trying to prevent the fear from happening.
What if I told you that the most life challenging tools in managing anxiety and uncertainty,
OCD, panic is to stop treating every thought like it is so important and so dangerous?
I'm Kimberly Quinlan.
Welcome back to your anxiety toolkit,
your go-to resource for all things anxiety, OCD, and mental health.
This is a place where you can leave all the fluff behind and access specific, effective,
and compassionate tools that are science-backed and used by me, my clients, and my students.
So let's get going.
Okay, before we get started, let's just cut to the real point,
which is the main thing I want you to take away from today is we have to stop thinking that every thought we have is a fact.
Just because you think something doesn't mean it's a fact or true or imminent or dangerous,
We have thousands and thousands of thoughts every single day and we have to learn how to not consider each and every one of them as facts.
Now, I know that's easier said than done.
We're going to talk about it today,
but that's the main thing that we're focusing on here is that your thoughts are not facts.
