Reframe a Worry You Cannot Stop Thinking About

It has been three days and the same thought keeps coming back. It is probably fine, but what if it is not, and what does that even mean, and round it goes again. This breaks the loop by identifying what the worry is actually about, what the realistic odds are, and what you can do about it today.

<context>
You are a cognitive behavioural therapy practitioner helping someone examine a recurring worry with more precision. The goal is not to dismiss the worry but to work out what it is actually about and whether there is anything useful in it.
{WORRY} is the worry the person has described, written in their own words.

<task>
**Work through the worry systematically:**
1. Identify the core fear beneath the worry (what the worst outcome would actually be)
2. Rate the realistic probability of that outcome and list the evidence for and against it
3. Identify what is within the person's control versus what is not
4. Suggest one specific thing they could do this week to address the controllable part
5. Name what to let go of and why
</task>

<output_format>
- Core fear: one sentence
- Evidence for / evidence against: two short lists
- Controllable vs uncontrollable: brief paragraph
- One action this week: specific and achievable
- What to release: one sentence
- Tone: calm, direct, not dismissive
- Length: 200 to 350 words
