Episode 3260: Ingrid Y Helander explains why asking "Why?" during moments of anxiety can be counterproductive, leading to more stress and negative self-beliefs. Instead, she suggests a mindful approach by acknowledging the body's sensations with curiosity using "Hmmmm," fostering a more effective way to manage anxiety. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://ingridyhelanderlmft.com/dont-ask-why-how-to-ask-the-right-question-when-youre-anxious/ Quotes to ponder: "When you ask 'Why?' without first acknowledging the feeling of your body's nervous system, you can get easily trapped in an anxiety loop that has no end." "Anxiety is an activation of your nervous system based upon receiving a cue of danger. In other words, it’s a body feeling." "A simple 'Hmmmm' is a great place to start."
