Controlling Your Anxiety | Dr Julie #shorts

i'm a psychologist and here's how i use

hot cross buns to help people in therapy

but i don't actually need a hot cross

bun

i need something

so we're gonna draw our hot cross bun

here it is any moment in your life can

be broken down into these four aspects

of your experience your thoughts

the emotions that you feel or don't feel

the physical sensations that come with

that

and your behavior so what you do or

don't do and i would split that into

urge and action because they can be

different now let's say you've got

something big going on and your initial

thought is i can't cope that thought if

you buy into it is going to cause you

fear

the physical manifestation of that fear

might be something like your heart

pounding or maybe your breathing changes

gets faster it's going to cause you some

physical distress that gives you the

urge to escape that thing and avoid it

if you escape and avoid it that's going

to reconfirm that original thought that

you can't cope
