Seeking support from others can provide comfort during anxious moments from "summary" of The Anxiety & Phobia Workbook by Edmund J. Bourne
During moments of intense anxiety, reaching out to others for support can be incredibly beneficial. Sharing your feelings with a trusted friend, family member, or therapist can provide a sense of relief and comfort. It can help to alleviate the sense of isolation that often accompanies anxiety, reminding you that you are not alone in your struggles.
Talking to someone about your anxiety can also help to put things into perspective. Sometimes, simply vocalizing your fears and worries can help you to see them more clearly, making them seem less overwhelming. A supportive listener can offer a different point of view, providing insight and reassurance that can help to calm your anxious thoughts.
In addition to offering emotional support, seeking help from others can also provide practical assistance. For example, a friend may be able to accompany you to a social event that triggers your anxiety, providing a sense of security and reducing your feelings of vulnerability. Or a therapist may offer strategies and coping mechanisms to help you manage your anxiety more effectively.
Remember, it is okay to ask for help when you need it. You do not have to face your anxiety alone. Seeking support from others is a sign of strength, not weakness. By reaching out and connecting with others, you can build a strong support network that can help you navigate anxious moments with greater ease and confidence.
