What if is not the enemy. Though it feels like it has all the power over you.
What if it doesn’t work? What if they find out the truth?
What if I fail?
But it’s not the outcome that is scary. An outcome will happen regardless of how we feel.
It is the journey to the outcome that can be paralyzing. The waiting for that outcome can be exhausting, unclear, confusing and full of second-guessing. This is anxiety.
Learning to manage anxiety through coping strategies can help ease those feelings. Connecting with a supportive therapist can make managing the what if journey even easier. If you want to stop feeling so overwhelmed and are ready to feel confident call 708-320-8062 to get started.
