I have been to therapy at various times in my life and do pursue it when I'm especially struggling, as well as have gone to support groups, have started ones myself, and have been working on my issues for many years. So I know how vital and helpful they are.
At this point in time however my partner and I went through an incident for which I was hurt, overreacted, perceived the situation to be much worse than it is due to my own difficulties in this area. 'Worst case scenario' thinking as a means of self-protection and likely an understandable response given my background. I would just like to find a conscious way to let go of these anxieties that aren't in my conscious mind, but subconscious responses. They are so instantaneous it's frustrating. Thanks to all of you for your help and input. I'll be sure to integrate those as I go along.
