What To Do When Your Family/Loved One Triggers Your Anxiety

Relationships can be a significant anxiety trigger.  Your anxiety could be triggered by the fear of conflict, feeling pressure or expectations from your loved ones or family members, or possibly from a fear of disappointing them…

These are just a few examples as to why you might feel anxious around your family or loved ones.

The thing is… the opinions of the people that are closest to you matter.  As a result, when your loved ones have strong opinions or there are negative consequences when you don’t agree with them, it can cause a lot of emotional discomfort for you.
