So helpful. I struggle with health anxiety and realize I have often confused HA as a Type 1 worry. But when coming to "problem solve", the worry over having this or that health problem...the problem itself doesnt exist :)

I suppose the one Type 1 worry with HA is the actual worry about having HA and how it negatively impacts my life. And in that case there are reframing and problem solving that could be done (especially now I am more resourced with information from your channel)

Such a great share! You explained everything! Thank you for all of the advice!

Medication. Healthy eating. Medication that includes vitamins focused mindfulness on happy places such streams think positive and always communicate with positive people. Delete people who in your life that just want to f with you. And situations and throw you into a frenzy.

Thanks very much for this series, I've watched all 12 videos so far. The part I'm missing is best described in a question. In the example scenario in this video, the worry about the vacation being ruined if the weather is bad, what happens if the person gets to the vacation and the weather actually is bad? Was the goal of the cognitive exposure to stop their suffereing ahead of time and help them deal with the worst case scenario when faced with exactly what they were fearing? In other words, every type 2 worry is something that could in theory happen some day, like if you are diagnosed with cancer, during your treatment you worry that you will suffer and die. This could actually happen. Do these techniques attempt to help people better handle the bad things when they actually come true?

This is great -thank you for making this available. What is your opinion of the acceptance commitment therapy approach which is to allow worrying thoughts to "run in the background" (like a radio that has been left on) whilst living out your values?

[syria]

Please answer..

[kmuree]

[arvincaluyo]

Does apply in any order? not following the steps?

[hip-hopman]

One mistake is that people attach their self worth with their problems
