In episode 7, I interview my amazing husband, Dustin on his experience of going through my battle of anxiety. About 10 years into our relationship, I was hit with massive anxiety and it took a LOT of work from both of us to come through to the other side. He shares everything he learned in how to support a spouse with anxiety and shares it all. Some of his biggest take aways.
Understanding anxiety isn’t small isolated events but a deeper rooted, long term problem.
Anxiety isn’t a feeling that can be managed in that isolated moment.
Recognizing my triggers and doing what he could to protect me from them so I could continue to focus on my growth and healing.
Recognizing the importance in putting your spouse first during the harder times when it may not feel so easy.
My challenge for you this week is to take the time to recognize how someone else may be feeling who is in your circle and how you can support them. Whether it’s anxiety, depression or simply choosing to live their life a little differently; try and see things from their perspective.
