This week Maryellen chats all about supporting someone with anxiety: 

Difference between the emotional brain and logical brain   

Letting them know they don’t need their anxiety  

Letting them know their anxiety is not what makes them who they are 

Anxiety is based on the past and future, not the present  

Hard for people struggling with anxiety to focus on the present and be mindful – try to bring them down to the present  

Not our job to know when someone is anxious – but we can take some hints  

Don’t engage with the anxious thoughts, wait until it calms down  

Anxiety never shows up to the party alone – what else are they struggling with?
