Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?

• Different situations keep upsetting me but underneath it’s always the same note
• My worries multiply endlessly — one spawns three more — and I can never pin down what I’m actually afraid of underneath them all, so there’s nothing solid to confront.
• Something bad happened and the original hurt feels almost smaller than the storm I’ve built on top of it
• It’s different people and different relationships, but somehow I always end up in the exact same painful spot, reacting the exact same way
• The same painful thing keeps happening to me in totally different situations
