Dependence of unrest

Carole began counseling with me, because it is depression. That she was sick with long-standing chronic fatigue syndrome and believed that his depression was caused by this. In our work together, she knew that his depression was actually coming from its negative thoughts-Carole was constant high. Many words in his mouth centered around its concerns that something bad might happen. "What happens if I ever get well?". "What happens if my husband gets sick?". "If you start money?". (Carole and her husband run a very successful business and there was no indication that it would not need to be successful). "What happens if my son gets drugs?". "If my children get into good colleges?". "If someone breaks into your home?".

His concern was not only causing the depression, but also contribute to the disease, if not caused by it. Concerns caused lots of stress in the body's immune system would do its job, to keep its properties. Yet even made aware that his concerns were the cause of the depression, and perhaps even his illness did not prevent from Carole with worrying. She was addicted to it. He unwittingly addicted to a sense of control.

I understand it well, because I come from a long line of worriers. My Grandmother was troubling Life. She lived with us, and he and I don't ever see him without concern about his facial appearance. Even my mother-care. Of course it was, and has become large. In contrast to my mother and grandmother, who worried about each day until their death, I decided I wanted to live this way. The turn came to me the day my husband and me to go to the beach and I began to worry that the House would burn down and my children would die. I became so excited that we will have to turn on and come home. Then I knew I had to do something.

As he began to examine the cause of anxiety and realized worriers believes that concerns will stop the bad things from happening. My mother concerned about his life and not bad things worries she never arrived. She concluded that nothing bad because she worries! In fact, she believed that it could control things with his concerns. My father, but never worried about something and never anything it either. My mother believed that bad thing to my father for his sake! She thought she really until the day of his death (from heart problems, which may have been due to his constant worry) If stopped worrying, everything falls separate. My father is still alive at 92, even without the fear of him!

It is not easy to stop worrying when you were practicing worrying in most of your life. To stop me worrying, I needed to resolve the concern to control results is complete the illusion. I see that not only wastes time, but can have serious negative consequences for the health and well-being. After this And realized can us stomach occurred while worried and stop thinking that was the cause of stress.

Carole is in the learning process. It considers that its concerns that his feeling very anxious and depressed. When She sees it, is not nearly as tired as it makes its dependency to worry about support. Sees that remains in time instead of in the future, it feels much better. Carole key stop worrying is accepting that concern does not control.

Give up Illusion control worry us is not readily available to anyone who worries. But is an interesting Paradox concerns. I found that when I'm in now, I'm much more likely to make choices that support My many more that when I'm stuck thinking in the future. Instead give us control, anxiety prevents us to make choices loving yourself and others. Worrying ends actually give us a less controls instead of more!
