How To Help Your Partner With Anxiety

How To Help Your Partner With Anxiety:

Understanding the cycle of anxiety can help your relationship thrive. You may notice that your partner’s anxiety shows up in a certain way. Typically, anxiety has 4 key parts.


Situation. The situation for anxiety can range from a high-stress moment to a memory of past trauma. In essence, the situation is the trigger.
Thoughts. The thoughts that you experience work to fuel the anxiety as it builds strength.
Feelings. After the thoughts, come feelings that directly connect to the anxiety.
Behavior/Physical Change. The final step is the change in behavior.
Below is an example to help you better understand the cycle of anxiety. As you read over the example, keep in mind how this may apply to your relationship.

Situation: You get home and know that you have to have a conversation with your partner.
Thoughts: “I can’t do this.” or “I’m not going to get through this.”
Feelings: You feel on edge, worried and nervous due to the confrontation aspect connected to the upcoming conversation.
Behaviors: Your heart is racing, your hands are sweating, muscle tension around your shoulders, and a headache.
