Catastrophizing
Follow-up after to the ski day post: It was great and I slayed this dragon! It rained (yes, rained!) the whole day but WOW, was it worth it. I feel like I’ve done something extraordinary for myself and am finding a sense of optimism.
I’ve been listening to podcasts about ‘catastrophizing’ in the past few months and believe (no, I know) that over many years of migraine challenges, I’ve developed neural pathways/habits that are leading me toward excessive worry when leaving my comfort zone.
Check out this link for a basic outline of ‘catastrophizing’ and see if it applies to you, too.
Wishing you well.
