《焦虑是因为我想太多吗》内容简介

　　灰暗的、负面的想法和感受与愉悦的、正面的一样，都是我们生活的一部分。它们不会累积在我们的内心里，也不会必然导致焦虑症。有可能导致焦虑症的是我们应对这些想法和感受的方式。

　　然而，研究表明，一个人在接受6～12次元认知治疗后，会改变任由想法和感受占据上风并持续对它们进行分析的习惯。在治疗中，我们可以学会观察自己的想法和感受，允许它们经过或者停留，但不去处理它们，也不探究它们为什么会出现，由此，焦虑症状会完全消失或者至少在一定程度上减轻。

　　在本书中，作者皮亚·卡列森博士将阐释她对焦虑的全新理解，循序渐进地引导你了解这种新疗法。在每一章的结尾，你都会看到焦虑症患者的故事和他们的元认知治疗经历。他们都曾患过长期或短期焦虑症，都成功地改掉了长时间反刍的习惯。

Is Anxiety because I think too much

Dark, negative thoughts and feelings are just as much a part of our lives as pleasant, positive ones. They do not accumulate in our minds and do not necessarily lead to anxiety. What can cause anxiety disorders is the way we deal with these thoughts and feelings.

However, studies have shown that after 6 to 12 metacognitive therapies, a person will change the habit of letting thoughts and feelings take over and continuously analyzing them. In therapy, we can learn to observe our thoughts and feelings, allow them to pass and stay, but not deal with them or explore why they arise, and the symptoms of anxiety disappear completely or at least to some extent.

In this book, author Dr. Pia Callesen explains her new understanding of anxiety and walks you through this new treatment step by step. At the end of each chapter, you will see the stories of people with anxiety disorders and their experiences with metacognitive therapy. All had suffered from long-term or short-term anxiety, and all had successfully broken their habit of ruminating for long periods of time.

A woman in her 20s, whose mother has died, and who's worried about losing her son

A man in his 40s who had suffered from major depression and was increasingly anxious as a result of a series of life events

A woman in her twenties who grew up worried, very sensitive, anxious about everything that might happen

A man in his thirties, trying to make everything perfect, stressed out at work, and increasingly insecure

A woman in her twenties who has always felt that she is not good enough, not smart enough, and often has suicidal thoughts

This book offers practical advice, case studies, and exercise tips from psychologists to revise your strategies for dealing with anxiety and learn new ways to get rid of it once and for all.
