Hmm. My T was never one to tell me not to worry. His variation of that was, "What is it you are thinking about X that is causing you to worry?" I guess he already knew I was worrying (I'm a worrier) and just cut to the chase. I don't think he found it helpful to tell me not to worry when often the things I worried about had no easy fix and were pretty justified: my husband's health, my sister, my kids, etc. Instead, he focused on helping me find some perspective, helping me stay in the present with what was going on rather than getting too far ahead of myself, find ways to look at a current situation differently so I could truly find some peace of mind rather than him just saying the words "Don't worry" as if they would magically actually do anything . . .
Thanks for this!
