Frequently Asked Questions
Why does "worrying" feel so repetitive?
Because Repetition is the Engine of Worry. The Threat system repeats the concern to ensure the Narrative system doesn't "forget" the danger. In this framework, worry is just a "loop that won't land." Gently linking the two—"I am repeating this because I am worried"—helps you see the behavior as a structural safeguard. This realization allows you to address the "safety need" directly rather than getting lost in the content of the worry.
How do I soften the worry?
By providing a "Structural Anchor." When you notice the repetition, anchor yourself in a physical "done" signal. Worry is a "future-pull"; grounding is a "present-landing." By repeatedly returning to the "now," you prove to your system that you are currently safe. Over time, the repetition loses its "urgency," and the worry dissolves into a more manageable state of "precautionary awareness."
