Having read The Psychologist since I was an undergraduate, I was thrilled to be invited to have a Q&A for the magazine with Annie Brookman-Byrne. 💜

.

My interest in anxiety stems from my own life-long experience of social anxiety, which affects me to this day.

.

In this interview I shared my top strategy for coping with my own anxiety 😄

.

A snippet from the interview appears in this month’s magazine, and the full Q&A is published on line. Check it out via the link in my bio 👀

When anxiety grips us, it can escalate quickly. ‼️

.

We get caught up with our own anxious thoughts, supercharged by the physical affects of anxiety. These feed off each other, pulling us into a building anxiety storm🌪

.

One way of stepping out of the storm- or at least interrupting its escalation - is to stop for a moment and observe what is happening. 👀

.

Internally, this can sound like a change from “I can’t cope, I am out of control” to “OK, I am having lots of anxious thoughts right now”. 👈🏼

.

It is not about trying to avoid or escape anxiety. It is about finding ways to sit WITH anxiety. 🧘🏼‍♀️

.

That mental gear shift can be massive for living better with anxiety. 💡

.

For more tips and techniques for managing anxiety, check out my book How to Help Someone with Anxiety. 📚

Absolutely humbled by the reviews of How to Help Someone with Anxiety appearing online 🙏🏻☺️

.

As a therapist, I am used to my work taking place behind closed doors, and not being in any way public. 🚪

.

It is amazing to think people are genuinely learning and benefitting through reading the book. That was my intention from the beginning. 📕

.

We have so much potential to help each other through listening and support. What has been particularly lovely is hearing people say it has made them reflect on how they listen, and want to be a better listener. Anyone who knows me knows I believe the helping relationship starts and ends with listening. This was the part of the book I most wanted to get right. 💚

.

Amazon reviews make a massive difference to authors because the number of reviews a publication has affects how it ranks in online searches. So if you have read and liked HTHSWA, it would mean a great deal to me if you could take a couple of minutes to leave a review on Amazon. And you don’t have to have bought the book from Amazon to leave a review there! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

.

I am so grateful to those who have taken a couple of minutes to leave a review. Swipe right to check out one reviewer’s extremely kind words 🙏🏻🙏🏻📚📚

We build tolerance by gradually moving out of our comfort zone. 🏃‍♀️

.

So my third tip for managing anxiety post-lockdown is to face what challenges you bit by bit, giving yourself a chance to build confidence. 🪜
