Catastrophizing: How to Stop Making Yourself Anxious and Depressed

Catastrophizing is when someone assumes that the worst will happen. Often, it involves believing that you're in a worse situation than you really are or exaggerating the difficulties you face.

This over time causes depression and anxiety. The brain continues to look for these "problems" that actually aren't problems.

There are a few ways to stop catastrophizing. I love challenging thoughts. This is one of the times when we can actually use logic.

In my new video, I show you how to challenge a thought so you can stop assuming the worst. 😉
