In addition to the management techniques of breathing and cognitive restructuring I offer 4 therapeutic concepts to consider when coping with anxiety. They are (1) What in your life are you trying to avoid? (2) Anxiety can be paradoxical in that it signals the conditions are sufficient for you to begin to heal, (3) Anxiety is a natural part of growth and development, (4) Learn to respond to anxiety and accept that you can not control when it comes.
