Yes. Worrying can sometimes feel like a way to prepare for problems, prevent mistakes, or protect yourself and the people you care about.
You may find yourself reviewing conversations, anticipating everything that could go wrong, or feeling responsible for making sure nothing is overlooked.
Although worry can create a temporary sense of preparedness, excessive worry often leaves people feeling more anxious and less certain.
Therapy can help you understand what keeps worry going, recognize when it’s no longer useful, and develop a different relationship with uncertainty.
The goal isn’t to stop caring or planning. It’s to help worry take up less room in your life.
