When someone we love is suffering from anxiety, it’s only natural to try and help them. However, this isn’t always helpful to them or what is needed. Listen in to this episode to hear Dawn explain why and what you can actually do instead to help those we love cope and deal with their anxiety.
 
KEY TAKEAWAYS
 
We all see the world through our own lenses. We can’t possibly see and understand everything in a situation, we are biased by our own experiences and our attention is brought to things we place importance on.
When we expect others to view and see things the same as us this is where we can come up against conflict. If we understand that we all have unique experiences and perspectives this can aid in preventing friction.
When it comes to supporting someone who is suffering from anxiety, we think of solutions through our own experiences. So, what might seem helpful to us might not be close to what someone else might need in that situation.
Many people who suffer from anxiety just want to be heard. They often know what they are feeling isn’t logical and they understand what they ‘should’ be doing in situations. They do not need reminding but what they do need is to be listened to.
We don’t have to offer solutions to help people, we just need to listen to them.
