PRLog -- In this article, I touch on the subject of taking catastrophic thoughts and converting them into humor. These thoughts are what some people refer to as "what if thinking" which can consist of terrible and disturbing thoughts and fear of catastrophic events taking place. Many anxiety sufferers experience this type of thinking and many times their thoughts come from the fear of losing control and committing violent acts. These thoughts are irrational and the fact that they are disturbing to the person experiencing them, means they will not act upon them. They are simply phobias with no true basis but they can of course still be greatly-concerning. This is especially true when they serve to trigger panic attacks or what we also call the "fight or flight response". So, how do you add humor to these types of thoughts or actually convert them into funny scenarios that take the threat out of them? Well, it's certainly not always easy to do but something anxiety sufferers can work on that may yield them good success in diverting these phobic thoughts away...
