In part two of this three-part series, we discussed cognitive strategies to improve the Intolerance of Uncertainty (IU) and, ultimately, reduce worry in your life.

IU, which involves one having particular difficulty with uncertainty, can have a negative impact on one’s functioning in life. Why? Because we live in an uncertain world. As hard as it may be for all of us at times, uncertainty is an inevitable part of life!
