If someone's anxious about something, and it's getting in their way, you take what they're anxious about, and you define it.
Because that already delimits it, right? Because one of the problems with being anxious about something is you won't speak of it. It's like Voldemort.
And then, if you don't speak of it, it's way bigger than it should be. You've cut it down to size as soon as you start talking about it.
You're not as afraid of as many things as you think. And you're braver than you know and more capable. So, as soon as you're brave enough to start talking about what you're afraid of, you see that there's more to you than you thought and that there's less to the problem than you thought.
And then, you can deconstruct it further into smaller problems and then figure out how to approach those smaller problems.
It doesn't seem to me that you get less frightened. It seems that you get more courageous, which is way better than being less frightened because there are many things to be frightened about.
So if you're courageous, that really does the trick.
