Benefits of Talking Therapies and Other Approaches for Managing Anxiety
Seeking support for anxiety through talking therapies can be a useful method to help reduce distress, understand the roots of anxiety and develop healthier coping mechanisms. These therapies work by allowing people to talk with a professional who has experience in understanding and resolving these types of issues. Other techniques like mindfulness, acceptance and boundary setting can help with managing anxiety. Medication can also help to relieve symptoms, but doesn’t address the root causes of anxiety. The most important factor in managing anxiety is a person’s own willingness to engage with therapy or other helpful techniques.
