Worry and Obsessions: Signals or Noise?

The essential first step in treating generalized anxiety disorder, as well as obsessions, is to distinguish worries that are signals from those that are noise. Worries that are signals call for problem-solving. Worries that are noise are nothing but repetitious, unproductive thoughts or images that distress us. If you don't make this distinction, you'll treat every worry as a signal, and you can never get stronger.
