so
good to see you again last week we were
talking about anxiety um do you have
your diary card yeah okay let's look at
it real quick where is it over here huh yeah
yeah
okay so
what happened yesterday anxiety is
really high give me a quick summary
anxiety is always really high but
yesterday was the worst why we were
driving uh my dad was driving and i was
in the passenger seat and we were in a
lot of traffic and that you know that
already makes me nervous i'd like to be
on time i know i don't want to be late
because then what if i get in trouble so
it's already kind of on edge and then we passed
passed
the accident that i guess was causing
off the traffic
and there were two cars and they were
like mashed together like accordions and
there was a tarp and i know that under
that tarp there was a dead body and the
car went right
by it that's scary
it's horrible
it kind of explains that number huh yeah
who wouldn't be anxious that's like a
normal thing because there's a dead body
well i'd be anxious of course and uh
it's kind of scary
to see that and what else did you think
when you saw that
who would drive when there's two cars
mashed together like accordions and a
dead body that's
that's
it's insane you have to be insane to drive
drive
and your family wants you to learn to
drive this year because you're 16.
they're insane hmm
hmm
and yet you all you you keep complaining
how you live in the middle of nowhere
and if you had a car you could like go
see friends more and get out of your
lame old town and get to go do fun
things i can't see my friends anymore if
i'm dead true
true
that's true and i won't get to see you anymore
anymore
because you're dead you know i don't
treat dead people right
remember that
all right
yeah okay
so on one hand
i know the idea of driving is completely
overwhelming and i know you're anxious
i mean i get that i have to drive
because you're right it's like the
middle of nowhere
and i can't just
like not go places but
so i'm wondering if we can bring it back
to some of those things you're talking
about to help reduce your anxiety maybe
that's one idea to help you be able to
get in the driver's seat
what do you think so
essentially you're practicing getting
the driver's seat by like doing this
treatment and getting the driver's seat
of your anxiety as opposed to being a
passenger and
you're letting your anxiety outside you
rule your life because that's what
you're doing what do you think
that was a lot of puns
jen i'm punny aren't i so
so
here's an idea
let's get on board we start treating
this anxiety we do a really really good
job at it we work hard and
and
idea driving might not be quite as scary
and let's face it being an anxious
driver increases your risk accidents
well that's helpful thanks so reducing
your anxiety is going to make you a
safer driver yeah but all these things
you keep telling me that i have to do to
be less anxious they involve like
feeling really anxious
true there's no way to like you're
supposed to just make it go away you're
not supposed to make it worse to make it
better so here's what's interesting
you're really good at being really
anxious so you'll be really good at this
and it will go away i promise you
i totally promise you that's just that's
the thing reality is you know darn well
i'm the expert here of treating anxiety
and i promise you it will get better
i know everything i know this
what do you think
i think it sounds really hard and it's
really hard oh my god it was totally
totally hard that maybe it's just
another insane thing that you have to be
more anxious to be less anxious i know
it isn't it's pretty insane isn't it
i agree
well another option
is you could just be anxious to rest
your life do they have a bus where you live
live
no you live with your parents for the
rest of your life i know i forgot so you
can live with your parents for the rest
of your life because you're too anxious
to leave town you won't be able to drive
so you could just live with your parents
be anxious all the time maybe you could
come up with some ideas on how to
maintain your anxiety the rest of your
life you won't need to learn to drive
i'm i mean your parents are fairly nice
they probably drive around um for the
rest of your life you know until they
pass away or something in the meantime
what about that so forget the whole
treatment i'm pushing you too hard why
don't we just talk about how to maintain
your anxiety you're good at it jenna is
not funny it's not meant to be funny
i
know being anxious every day is really hard
hard
so one of the options is to really become
become
good at being anxious and do okay and
learn to sit with your anxiety and
another option
is yeah getting more anxious to reduce
your anxiety
so you're saying that kind of no matter
what i choose it's going to involve
feeling anxious
yeah put your practice at it
well i mean if those are the only
options we might as well do the one
that's going to make it eventually go
all right do you want to review what
some of the treatment strategies will be
yeah i guess
