Forest Driving in the Apalachicola National Forest/Worst Case Scenario Journaling Activity

Forest Driving in the Apalachicola National Forest/Worst Case Scenario Journaling Activity

Worst Case Scenario/Play the Script Out

Journaling activity

Part I: Write down your fear or hesitation

What’s the next worst thing?

What’s another bad thing?

Play out all of the worst case scenarios, one after another after another

Play it out until you get to the point where it doesn’t seem quite as bad

When to seek professional help: if you come up with more than 8 worst case scenarios for one fear, and it still feels debilitating and overwhelming, seek professional help from a therapist, social worker, or doctor.

Part II: Reframe

What are some possible solutions or back up plans to your concerns?

What are some bright spots or things to look forward to besides dealing with the fear?

What would feel reassuring to you?
