Thank you David & Alex. The reason why I often fall into the trap of catastrophizing and being in sudden anxiety is because I lived in a dysfunctional family in which violence was considered normal. Thanks for sharing about the golden thread process. I keep assuring myself that what happened long ago is already dead past and now I am responsible for the life I lead.
Perfect timing! I had a situation today that had me feeling anxious all day. I said something stupid, or I decided it was stupid because of the reaction of the two people I was with. I obsessed about my stupid comment all day and my worries even kept me awake. What’s worse is I became so annoyed with myself for obsessing that I started obsessing over that too! After watching this video, I realized the reason I was so worried about the comment I made is because the other people’s reaction made me think they would no longer like me, so I was really afraid of rejection. (It seems so juvenile now that I write it out.) I recognize this is a common issue for me but why? I kept asking why until I remembered how horrible my first days of school were. So horrible that I developed a real fear and dislike of school, which I now realize is really a fear of rejection. I did not make friends at school. In fact, the other kids made fun of me, teasing me relentlessly, until I cried, over and over again. So I ask myself now, “So what?” What if these people today don’t like me anymore because of my comment? The actual comment wasn’t that bad, and was actually made out of the goodness of my heart. I decided if these people really did change their feelings for me because of that comment, then they aren’t really people I want as friends anyway. They know me well enough to know who I am, and I’m a good person! I’m going to stop worrying about rejection. I can survive it! Thank you so much for this video! 😊
Once I came to the realization that I am the creator of my emotions I understand I have a choice! The abused little girl didn't have a choice. Amazing how GENEROUS you both are. True spiritual teachers!

I am the total opposite. I have high expectations and want everything to work perfectly. Often I’m disappointed. Can you speak about this bad behavior?
Thank you so much!
Thank you this helped me a lot
Thanks for another great life lesson !
I catastrophize mostly of the accident scene and all i healed by its coming again... then i fear that if we think so much of anything it will come true
I'm in anxiety now
Hi @ankitachettri762,
It's understandable to be anxious after experiencing such thoughts. Remember that your mind is powerful, and shifting your focus can help. Try to gently redirect your thoughts towards positive and peaceful images. Practicing mindfulness and staying present can assist in calming your mind. Believing in your ability to change your thought patterns is key.

David
Fantastic video. ❤️
I added: “I am safe” to countervail the “I am in danger” lie.
I am unsure if this is the right place to ask a question. I trust people easily and get disappointed in the end, almost like a naive/childlike innocence. How can I use the golden thread method and find out the root cause of my inner child trustIng people so quickly?

Hi @mmganesh6087,
You've mentioned a specific timestamps in your comments. If you have any questions or thoughts about that part of the video, I'm here to help!
Kind Regards,
David
@@WuWeiWisdom Hello . At that specific timestamp, where you said about " if you answer one what if then just give you another one " When you said these and subsequent other words and ideas , it just felt that you ere right on the target explaining the mechanics of what ifs of the mind. It then made me interested to hear you more.
We don’t create all of our emotions. Grief caused by loss is natural and necessary.
The emotions seem to go on autopilot

Reference: The Chimp Paradox. ‘Human’: “Of course I am safe”. ‘Chimp’: “Danger! I want out of here quick!”
I'm not understanding, if someone slaps me in the face, THEY are responsible for my pain and humiliation, saying I'm responsible, gives them a free pass.
Don't us Brits spell catastrophising with an "s" rather than a "z"? Just a random observation lol
