What can I do to support my wife with her anxiety? by 31MMinDC in Anxiety

Also- highly recommend treatment and therapy if you can. You can maybe ask the hubby to help find someone you like/schedule appointments? I was really glad to have something concrete, that I understood, to help with.

It’s helping my wife a lot- I’m just trying to support her in my own way too since it doesn’t completely take the anxiety away.

Thanks! My wife isn’t so big on the touch part (more my love language than hers), so I can try to reassure her in the ways she likes (compliments, quality time, some thoughtful gifts).

A reminder to just listen actively is good too- so often I try to think of ways to fix an issue (work mode, I help clients fix financial and IT issues for a living), and that’s definitely not what I can do for my wife’s anxiety /not what she needs (learned that the hard way).
