An Overview of Anxiety and Worry For Google Apps

The difference between anxious thinking and normal thinking is that the anxious thinker tends to focus on the likelihood of more serious threats, exaggerated dangers and has few coping, relaxation and problem solving strategies.

The normal thinker focuses much more realistically, is able to problem solve and cope during more challenging situations or events. The goal of the resources here is to move the individual from the anxious thinker to a more normalized thinker.

disengage with appropriate coping/calming strategies
