The ObservatoryThink the thought through
Worry always bails out at the worst part and leaves you there. This time you follow the thought all the way, until it loses its force.

Worry works like a film that's cut just before the scary scene, again and again. Never seeing the scene finished keeps it dangerous. This exercise does the opposite: you write out the worst, in detail, and stay with it.
Exercise in 3 steps, about 10 minutes. Doing it is part of Premium, which you try free for 7 days with no card. With Premium your answers are saved so you can pick up where you left off and look back at what you wrote.

Why does it work?
Deliberately imagining the worst-case scenario until the discomfort drops (worry exposure) is a component of CBT for excessive worry, supported by treatment research (Borkovec and later; CBT for GAD has strong support in meta-analyses). The component's own effect has been studied only moderately. It applies to worry about the future, not trauma memories.
