How can I help someone who is feeling anxious?

What are some effective ways to calm an anxious person?

There are several techniques you can use, such as deep breathing exercises, grounding techniques, and offering a comforting presence.

Can you explain deep breathing exercises?

Sure! Deep breathing involves inhaling slowly through the nose, holding for a few seconds, and exhaling through the mouth. Repeat this several times.

What are grounding techniques?

Grounding techniques help bring a person back to the present moment. One method is the 5-4-3-2-1 technique, where you identify 5 things you can see, 4 you can touch, 3 you can hear, 2 you can smell, and 1 you can taste.

How can I be a comforting presence?

Being a comforting presence means being there for the person, listening without judgment, and offering reassurance. Sometimes, just your calm demeanor can help.
