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

• There are things I rehearse over and over that I simply cannot do anything about, and I keep treating "let it go" like a switch I should be able to flip once and get frustrated when the worry comes right back
• Once my attention locks onto the thing I’m scared of, I genuinely can’t pry it loose
• Once my mind latches onto a worry I genuinely cannot pry it loose
• I only ever notice I’ve been worrying, rehashing old moments, and scanning for what might go wrong after I’ve already lost an hour to the whole churning loop
• I’ll spend an hour grinding the same worry around in circles convinced I’m working it out, and at the end I’ve solved nothing and feel worse
