There's a part of a notebook within the expanded edition of the book, which is available on Amazon or most bookstores now in the U S but there is another workbook that I have separately. I think that's called healing anxiety and overthinking and that's on Amazon as well. It isn't, I don't think it goes through the exact pause framework, but it goes through something very similar.
I just made it into a pause framework in the expanded edition to make it a little bit simpler and easier for people to remember.

That's a great question. One of the things that I would say is to really examine what the predominant thinking is. There's a lot of thinking that's going on, right? Like blaming ourselves, blaming the boss, blaming other people. What is the one that feels most visceral?

And then we can tackle it from there because it's very difficult when you're swarmed with a thousand different thoughts at the same moment. And then figure out

where that comes from like why are you believing this particular thought and is that particular thought helping you in this moment what would happen if you suspended that judgment for a few moments what would happen to the story how does the story change if you suspend the judgment what questions can you ask yourself and the other person to find out something a little bit closer to the truth because whenever there's a story there's multiple sides

So we only know one side, which is her story right now. We don't know the boss's side. We don't know the co-worker's side or anything. We have no idea. But becoming a lot more curious than fearful or resentful is probably going to help a lot more. That's where I would start and then go through the framework from there and doing some deep breathing.

I would say be very aware of your judgments, particularly the ones that destroy you most. And actually, what I started to realize too when I started to inquire about my own thoughts is that the judgments that we place on ourselves or even on other people in the world aren't even our own.

It usually comes from other people, mainly our parents, our friends, our coworkers, people we were closest with. And the mental chatter that we say to ourselves that really beat ourselves up and create the suffering, all those things are most likely things that someone has said to us before, and we just replay them in our own minds. So the thoughts that we think are ours aren't even really ours.
