Catastrophic Thinking: Why You Worry and How to Stop

Catastrophic thinking is characterized by the obsessive question: "What if...?" that you ask yourself time and again. In an attempt to find a solution to the problem, you start to worry. Inside, anxiety rises quickly. Moreover, it feels like you have lost all control over yourself and cannot calm your anxiety. And the more you think about it, the darker the future seems to you. A familiar situation, isn't it? In this book, Graham Davey describes his years of research in the field of catastrophic thinking. He himself once suffered from endless anxiety and panic attacks but managed to find a way out. And now Graham Davey is sure that it is much easier to do this than we think. Catastrophic thinking is a learned behavior that we can get rid of with the help of cognitive-behavioral therapy. In this guide, you will find both theoretical and practical information on how to unlearn the constant imagining of terrifying scenarios, their endless replaying, driving yourself to panic attacks, and simply living in peace and tranquility.
