I have been to therapy (and still go) numerous times for my anxiety. The one thing that my therapist has repeatedly tried to instill in me is accepting my anxiety. He actually encourages me to get in situations were I am triggered such as the terrible two's tantrumns. I will say that this is not an easy thing to do and can be quite frightening at first. However, many therapists agree that the only way through anxiety is acceptance(have you checked out ACT of Acceptance?). I hope this helps as we can't always have peace in our home and will always be surrounded by triggers. <br /><br />Take CareJason Hillhttp://www.anxietyhealthandresources.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9147889412798634304.post-47081316173671863502010-10-04T05:39:25.875-06:002010-10-04T05:39:25.875-06:00Hi Amy!

Things have gotten better over the past couple of months, but during the first month or so anytime my little girl cried for more than a few minutes my anxiety would go crazy.<br /><br />I would get very upset and be very short with my wife. It got frustrating. But as time has gone by and I am getting used to the crying, it's not nearly as bad.Chrishttp://www.unnervedonline.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9147889412798634304.post-41867445188178024232010-09-19T18:47:58.572-06:002010-09-19T18:47:58.572-06:00Hello.

Its then that I started to feel extra anxious because he wasn't available to me and I therefore wasn't in control of the situation. I see you as suffering from the same issues albeit slightly different. Your daughter is changing the dynamics that you have tried so hard to establish and I agree with your observations that it is a lack of control which makes us feel more anxious. Do I have an answer? no not really, but recognising it is part way there and you should be able to at least self talk.snobby brithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12879387209020031045noreply@blogger.com
