Supporting Someone with Anxiety

18 minutes

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?
