I asked, “What if the why doesn’t matter?” “What?” she said, looking confused. It doesn’t matter what triggers worry or anxiety, but it does matter how you react to it. If Amy gets caught up in a why habit loop, she just adds fuel to the fire, making it worse. If she can learn to step out of the loop, she can not only put out that anxiety fire, but at the same time learn how to avoid starting another in the future.
