Test The Shifting Sands Paradox
Agenda
QUESTION 1: What experience are anxious lives compared to in the main metaphor of the text?
Being lost in a dense forest without a map
With the experience of being trapped in the middle of a large pit of quicksand
With climbing a very high and dangerous mountain without equipment
Sailing on a rudderless ship in the middle of a storm
QUESTION 2: What is a person's natural, instinctive reaction when they fall into quicksand, which is similar to how we react to anxiety?
Stay completely still and wait to be rescued
Shouting for help to other people in the hope of being heard
Try to relax and float immediately on the surface
Fighting, struggling, kicking and trying to crawl, believing that this will save you
QUESTION 3: Why is fighting in quicksand a terrible idea that makes the situation worse?
Because when you lift one foot, all the weight is concentrated on the other, causing you to sink much faster
Because movement attracts predators that may be nearby
Because you use up all your energy and you run out of strength to swim to safety
Because the sand becomes much denser and heavier the more you move
QUESTION 4: What happens to anxiety when we apply the same logic of struggle that would be instinctively used in quicksand?
Anxiety gradually decreases because the mind gets tired of fighting
You learn to control your thoughts and feelings through willpower
The more you fight your thoughts and feelings, the deeper you sink into them
A temporary victory over anxiety is achieved, but it returns with a vengeance
QUESTION 5: What is the only way to save yourself from quicksand, which is a counterintuitive solution?
Move very slowly, but without ever stopping, until you reach solid ground
Stop fighting immediately and spread your body horizontally on the sand to distribute your weight
Sink to the bottom so you can push yourself up with maximum force
Grab onto any nearby object and pull on it with all your strength
QUESTION 6: What fundamental psychological concept represents the physical action of stopping fighting and lying down on the sand?
The distraction
The confrontation
The denial
Acceptance
QUESTION 7: What does psychological acceptance consist of, according to the definition offered in the text?
In letting go of fighting the reality of your feelings and thoughts, allowing them to simply be
In resigning yourself to the fact that anxiety will be part of your life forever and cannot be changed
In agreeing with the content of anxious thoughts and believing them to be true
In logically analyzing each thought to be able to demonstrate that it is irrational
QUESTION 8: What is achieved when we stop resisting anxiety, according to the metaphor of starting to "float"?
That anxiety disappears immediately and permanently
That thoughts and feelings become much more intense than before
You stop adding strength to the problem and can begin to "float" above the anxiety
You understand the root cause of your anxiety and can solve it logically
