[quote=Anonymous]Therapist here. It isn't likely that you'll be able to convince her to go to therapy if she doesn't want to - nothing wrong w/ suggesting it once or twice. You could also try therapy for yourself and/or 12-step mtgs. Re: the Xanax, I would agree with 16:26 that there is a good chance she could be addicted or dependent, especially if she is needed more and more. Benzos are highly addictive and not great for long term use, but she should only withdraw off of them under medical supervision. You might try first getting her to a psychiatrist (if it is being prescribed by her GP) - this might be easier then pushing therapy, though if it is a good psychiatrist, they will likely recommend therapy for someone who is highly anxious :)[/quote]
