You are getting such wonderful thoughts and I especially liked nowhere's post to you about the labelling of the negatives. That is great advice.
What also worked with me was replacing the thoughts....when the what if's popped in my mind and stayed there for a while...I would counter those with so what's. Everytime the inner dialogue turned to "what if I lose control" I would turn the thought around to " so what if I lose control - what is the worse that could happen? It gave me more control over my thoughts instead of the thoughts racing through my mind without direction.
Take care
