For example, I never understood why I felt so anxious after someone asked me for a ‘quick chat’ without any context. I would overthink, over-analyse and catastrophize. I would be a ball of anxiety until the dreaded ‘quick chat’ occurred and I was reassured that my world wasn’t about to end.

“My department failed on yet another high-visibility project.” •“I got fired because I couldn’t cut it at that job.” •“I was passed over again for the promotion because I’m not part of the ‘in crowd’ at my company.”
