P4: I learned about anxiety.
I: Okay.
P4: Three to four modules about that,
that was quite good.
I: Anything specific or any example
that you would like to give us?
P4: That part where you’re told
to write all our anxieties on a piece of paper. I
found it very helpful. I still do it. After
writing down what we feel, I feel that yes it can
be tackled now. Like it is on a paper so it is not
that huge of a problem. It helps me to, you know,
gauge the scale of the problem and work on it. How
am I going to solve it and how am I going to
tackle it.
I: Yeah, you mean the thought diary
where you are asked to list or think of
alternative thought? Is that what you are
saying?
P4: Yeah that one.
P1: Actually it was quite good because
once you write it down it actually becomes a real
issue. Like you cannot just let it fester inside.
So once you write it down, you know that this is
actually a problem and you have to do something
about it. But if you don’t write it,
it’s just like a thought and it’s
momentary. It passes, but again comes back a few
days later and it again haunts you. So you can
just write it and then you know that you have to
do something about this.
