Anxiety, panic and fear are feelings that clients can learn to understand and manage. However, building more fear on top of these feelings, can prevent clients from being able to be mindful of, present to and compassionate towards their difficult feelings. The safe non-judgmental compassionate attitude of the therapist helps to encourage the client to be accepting of her/his own difficult feelings and experiences. Examining negative thoughts and beliefs, and understanding situations or relationships that trigger anxiety can lead clients to see new choices for coping with discomfort. Successes in coping lead to a sense of empowerment and increased confidence for new challenges.
