When someone we care about shows signs of persistent anxiety, we naturally want to do what we can to calm and reassure them. But when our attempts to help are met with angry outbursts or further isolation, these reactions may be the result of a more serious, clinical problem--and dealing with it in caring, effective ways can be trickier than we realize.
In this compassionate guide, Claudia Strauss outlines the different forms of clinical anxiety, identifying the telltale signs of each. By discussing common behaviors and situations, Talking to Anxiety offers specific advice on what to do and what not to do--what to say and what not to say--to avoid frustration and help your loved one feel safer and freer to live life.
