ANXIETY When we avoid the things that provoke anxiety, we feel better for a moment, but it fuels the anxiety cycle Anxiety grows... Our world shrinks Supported, scaffolded exposure teaches us that the fear stimuli is safe and can help break the cycle - Like it? Share it 🙏

If you're feeling a little anxious right now, try going through your senses: Name... 1 thing you can taste 2 things you can smell 3 things you can hear 4 things you can touch 5 things you can see Going through your senses can help ground you in this moment.

✨How are you feeling?✨ At times it can be challenging to find the words to match whats going on inside. I love these cards for working with children and young people in my @DAPLFife work to help connect the words with the feelings.
