    This document outlines a model of generalized anxiety. It shows that perceived threats can activate positive beliefs about worry, leading to Type 1 worry about the problem. This activates negative beliefs about worry and Type 2 worry about the effects of worry. This causes cognitive and behavioral avoidance as well as anxiety, negative attention, and cognitive biases. Background factors like core beliefs and early experiences shape how a person responds to triggers and perceived threats.
