Your brain loves the worst case. Ask it what the likely case is. That answer is usually way more boring.

Attention is drawn to the catastrophic version because it once kept people alive, not because it is accurate. What is missing from the picture is the ordinary outcome, which is duller, far more likely and never rendered in the same detail. You can ask for that version directly.

When the worst case is playing, write down what the likely case would look like, in specifics. Compare the two on paper. The boring one usually wins on evidence, and seeing it written is more convincing than thinking it.
