[quote=Anonymous]I think it can be helpful in my brain to remember not to respond to anxiety like pain, even when it’s pain, and more like a physical disability kind of. Like if your kid broke their leg you would be all about keeping it protected while it healed, right? No walking, etc. But if your kid were missing a leg you would be all about helping them figure out how to do things anyway right? Not by pretending they had two legs or not acknowledging the difficulty, but by figuring out supports and how to get by. I think anxiety is kind of like that, or at least that’s the message I took from the Lebowitz book. [/quote]
