4. What if negative feelings about this problem come back?
Typically, you will find that if distress about the problem returns it is because some aspect of the problem has arisen that was not fully addressed the first time around. Also, it may be that some new distressing event related to the problem has occurred. In any event, there is no need to worry. It does not mean that all your hard work has accomplished nothing. If you recall where you started, you will likely recognize that you have made progress since then. Your emotions are simply telling you that the problem was not fully dealt with the first time, and you now have the opportunity to take care of the remaining junk.
One suggestion is to mentally rehearse as many different problem-related scenarios as possible when you are in the "Strength and Confidence" section. This will more adequately prepare you to handle whatever may come along. Of course, it is impossible to anticipate absolutely everything, but you can use the Wellspring Method as a tool to help you succeed in life whenever the need arises.
