@therapistinrecovery: Understanding productive vs unproductive worry is crucial because they are treated differently. Productive worry=take action, find a solution that fits within your value system (preferably leaning into neglected values for some extra exposure work!). Whereas unproductive worry=accept and redirect to the present moment. Spoiler- the more urgent and repetitive it feels the more unhelpful it probably is. But When in doubt, wait! accept the uncertainty and trust that when you need to know you’ll know!
