[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]First, don't call them 'mental issues'. Second, mindfulness has been shown to be really effective. There are lots of at home things she can try before doing counseling or therapy. There are mindfulness guided imagery tracks she can listen to with headphones, adult (or child) coloring books have been shown to be really effective, she can take up yoga or meditation, etc. Spending time in nature has also proven to be beneficial. Maybe you can take up one of these activities and then offer for her to join, without ever mentioning her 'mental issues'[/quote] Another PP- these are great activities to relieve stress. Generalized anxiety is a mental health issue. These activities that pp mentions are great complements to therapy and possibly meds. They are not a substitute if OP's DW has an anxiety disorder. Occasional stress vs an anxiety disorder is like an occasional headache vs chronic migraines. Just not in the same league. [/quote]
