Therapist here! My practice is focused 90% on anxiety. While a tweet thread does not constitute therapy & is no substitute for seeking mental health care if you need it, I am sharing some tips to help people manage the anxiety they may be experiencing in this THREAD: 1)Your anxieties are valid. The fight or flight response keeps us safe; it is trying to protect you. In honouring that, the goal is not to eliminate our fears entirely, but to keep our anxiety at levels wherein we don’t overwhelm ourselves to the point of being ineffectual.
