Even trying to discuss a situation (in which one experienced anxiety) to a trusted friend or family member becomes a grueling ordeal for those of us with extreme anxiety. Then again, I suppose the tips are fine for "normal people" with normal anxiety.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13617569.post-16766971215603277262008-07-29T20:39:00.000-07:002008-07-29T20:39:00.000-07:00I agree that therapy helps -- it helped me enormou...I agree that therapy helps -- it helped me enormously.

Sometimes this is the case, but often friends and family, while well-meaning, are "part of the system" and ultimately offer neither perspective or real support. Fortunately (for those who can afford it) there are professional allies who specialize in perspective shifting - coaches, counsellors, therapists and so on. Sometimes it makes sense to get help from outside the immediate circle!<BR/><BR/>Also, you gotta check out Heartmath institute. Seriously. Google it. They're doing amazing research.<BR/><BR/>Best,<BR/>Coach Justice<BR/>http://www.menmasteringrelationship.com/Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
