1
It's not an illustrious category to belong to, of course, but there are plenty of us at least.
2
We worry about work, money, being left, illness, disappointing, over-promising, madness, disgrace, just to start the list.
3
We worry in the early hours, we worry on holiday, we worry at parties, and we worry all the time while we're trying to smile and seem normal to good people who depend on us.
4
Thus, it can feel pretty unbearable at moments.
5
A standard approach when trying to assuage our blizzard of worries is to look at each in turn and marshal sensible arguments against their probabilities.
6
But it can, at points, also be helpful not to look at the specifics of every worry and instead to consider the overall position that worry has come to occupy in our lives.
7
There is a hugely fascinating sentence on the topic in an essay by the great English psychoanalyst Donald Winnicott.
8
The catastrophe you fear will happen has in fact already happened.
9
When we worry, we're naturally fixated on what will occur next.
10
It's the future with its boundless possibilities for horror that is the natural arena for exploration by our panicked thoughts.
11
But in Winnicott's unexpected thesis, something else is revealed.
12
The disaster that we fear is going to unfold is actually behind us.
13
There is a paradox here.
14
Why do we keep expecting something to happen that's already happened?
15
Why don't we better distinguish past from present?
16
Winnicott's answer is that it's in the nature of traumatic events from childhood not to be properly processed and as a result, like the dead who have not been adequately buried and mourned, to start to haunt us indiscriminately in adulthood.
17
For example, we may panic that we are about to be humiliated and shamed.
18
There are no particularly strong grounds for this in objective reality, but we are utterly convinced nevertheless because this is precisely what happened to us when we were tiny and at the hands of a parent.
19
Or we worry intensely that we are about to be abandoned in love, not Not because our partner is in any significant way disloyal, but because someone who once looked after us at a very vulnerable point definitely was.
20
A benefit of understanding how much our worries owe to childhood is a new sense that it isn't so much the future we should be distressed about as the past.
21
We can replace dread and apprehension with something sadder yet ultimately more redemptive.
22
Mourning.
23
we can feel profoundly sorry for our younger selves as an alternative to being panicked for our future selves.
24
Appreciating the childhood legacy of worries, we also stand to realise that we can adapt and improve on how we respond to what alarms us.
25
If we have been well-parented, we will have been bequeathed a repertoire good moves to latch onto when crises occur.
26
We know how to reach out, seek help, perhaps move away and only take as much responsibility as we are due.
27
We have access to a corridor through our troubles.
28
But when we have lacked this kind of tutelage, we remain in significant ways in relation to our troubles like the frightened children we once were.
29
We may be tall, drive a car and sound like a grown-up, but faced with concerns, we resort to our toolkit of childlike solutions.
30
We overreact, we go silent, we scream, we have little sense of other options, we feel extremely limited in our powers of protest and agency, we lose all perspective.
31
To which it's appropriate, and in no way patronising, to remind ourselves of what can, in our deeper psychological selves, still be an entirely implausible thought.
32
we are now adults.
33
In other words, in response to the kinds of terror we knew so well at the age of four or eight, we don't have to be either as afraid or as powerless as we were.
34
We can mount a direct protest, we can make an eloquent case for ourselves, we can complain and defend our position, we can rebuild our lives in a new way elsewhere.
35
There are two ways to mitigate risk.
36
To try to remove all risk from the world or to work on one's attitude to risk.
37
Knowing that many of our fears have childhood antecedents, as do our responses to them, can free us to imagine that history won't have to repeat itself exactly.
38
Adult life doesn't have to be as terrifying as our childhoods once were, and our responses to our fears can have some of the greater vigour and confidence that is the natural privilege of grown-ups.
39
We'll still be worried a substantial portion of the time, but perhaps with a little less fragility and fewer burning convictions of total, upcoming catastrophe.

Consigli per la Pratica

Utilizzare la tecnica del shadowing è un modo efficace per migliorare le vostre capacità linguistiche. Nel video, il relatore utilizza un tono riflessivo e controllato, che offre l'opportunità di praticare la shadow speech. Ecco alcuni suggerimenti specifici per adattare la vostra pratica alla velocità e al tono del video:

  • Ascoltate attentamente – prima di iniziare con il shadow speak, ascoltate il video per comprendere il contesto e il ritmo.
  • Ripetete in tempo reale – provate a mimare le parole e le frasi mentre il relatore parla. Questo aiuterà a migliorare la vostra pronuncia e fluidità nella pratica di conversazione in inglese.
  • Fermatevi e ripetete – non esitate a mettere in pausa il video per ripetere frasi particolarmente difficili. Concentratevi su come il relatore esprime le sue emozioni e preoccupazioni.
  • Annotate espressioni utili – tenete un quaderno a portata di mano per scrivere frasi che vi colpiscono o che volete approfondire meglio.
  • Riflettete sulla tematica – dopo aver praticato, prendetevi un momento per riflettere su ciò che vi ha colpito nel video e come potete applicare queste riflessioni alle vostre esperienze personali.

Integrando questi consigli nella vostra routine di apprendimento, potrete migliorare significativamente la vostra capacità di gestire le ansie e comunicare in inglese con maggiore sicurezza.

Cos'è la tecnica dello Shadowing?

Shadowing è una tecnica di apprendimento delle lingue supportata da studi scientifici, originariamente sviluppata per la formazione dei traduttori professionisti e resa popolare dal poliglotta Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Il metodo è semplice ma potente: ascolti un audio in inglese di madrelingua e lo ripeti immediatamente ad alta voce — come un'ombra che segue il parlante con un ritardo di solo 1–2 secondi. A differenza dell'ascolto passivo o degli esercizi di grammatica, lo shadowing costringe il tuo cervello e i muscoli della bocca a elaborare e riprodurre simultaneamente i modelli di discorso reale. La ricerca dimostra che migliora significativamente la precisione della pronuncia, l'intonazione, il ritmo, il discorso connesso, la comprensione dell'ascolto e la fluidità del parlato — rendendolo uno dei metodi più efficaci per la preparazione alla prova di speaking dell'IELTS e per la comunicazione reale in inglese.
