A practical way to implement self-help for Anxiety towards facing a feared place or situation:

It is important for you to start entering situations that you have been avoiding due to fears of having anxiety attacks. Identify feared situations or places, such as going places alone, entering crowded stores, or riding the bus. Then, make a list of things in order from the least scary to the scariest. Starting with the situation that causes the least anxiety, encourage yourself to repeatedly enter that situation and remain there until your anxiety decreases/ subsides. Once you can enter that situation without experiencing much anxiety, you will gradually gain confidence that the situation was not as scary as you thought.

To make the most of these tips, remember:

  • * Consistency is key. Practice daily or weekly to see long-term benefits
  • * Adapt to your needs, modify techniques to suit your lifestyle and preferences.
  • * While self-help is valuable, don’t hesitate to reach out to a Psychiatrist or a therapist for deeper issues.
