How can I better understand my anxiety and build resilience?

I've been feeling really anxious lately. Can you help me understand why?

Of course! Anxiety can stem from various sources, including stress, past experiences, or even biological factors. What specific situations trigger your anxiety?

I get anxious in social situations, especially when meeting new people.

That's quite common. Social anxiety often arises from fear of judgment or not fitting in. Have you tried any techniques to cope with it?

I've tried deep breathing, but it doesn't always help.

Deep breathing is a great start! You might also consider exposure therapy or cognitive-behavioral techniques to gradually face your fears. Would you like to explore those options?
