DON'T think about Pink Elephants!

Everyone?

What's the first thing you DID think of? Hmm?

It's the same with our anxiety symptoms. It's called a 'rebound effect.' When we are told to NOT think about something, it actually becomes more difficult to do so. It's not about suppressing our fears or feelings, but rather, moving through them and interacting elsewhere.....

Still thinking about pink elephants.....?

Ok, I'm kind of scared now. At first I thought of a purple elephant not a pink one lol. What type of sorcery has thou cast upon me?

That is a good way to look at our anxiety. We try not to think of it but that's all we actually do.. Good post Merrida.
