Field Guide for Families

How to Help a Loved One

Supporting someone through an anxiety disorder requires preparation. Consider these expedition tips.

1

Educate Yourself

Learn about anxiety as a medical condition, not a weakness. Understanding the neuroscience helps reduce frustration and opens the door to compassion.

2

Avoid Accommodation

There’s a difference between supporting and enabling avoidance. Helping them avoid triggers may feel kind but reinforces the anxiety cycle long-term.

3

Validate Without Minimizing

Saying “just calm down” or “there’s nothing to worry about” dismisses their experience. Instead, say “I can see this is really hard for you.”

4

Join Family Therapy

Trailhead offers monthly Zoom family education groups. Open to all family members 18+. Curriculum covers communication skills, supporting recovery, and family wellness.

5

Take Care of Yourself

You can’t lead an expedition if you’re exhausted. Living with someone with severe anxiety is stressful. Seek your own support and prioritize your mental health too.

6

Learn Grounding Techniques Together

Practice breathwork, progressive muscle relaxation, and grounding exercises alongside your loved one. Shared practice normalizes the tools and strengthens your bond.

Our family support program is open to all family members 18+. (857) 312-1697

When They’re Not Ready

What If They Refuse Treatment?

When a loved one won’t accept help for anxiety, these structured communication steps can make a difference.

Step 01 — Recon

Understand Their Resistance

Anxiety itself often creates resistance to treatment — the idea of talking to strangers or changing routines can feel overwhelming. Recognize that avoidance is a symptom, not stubbornness.

Step 02 — Approach

Use Compassionate Language

Express concern without judgment. Use “I’ve noticed you seem to be struggling...” instead of “You need to get help.” Validate their feelings first before suggesting solutions.

Step 03 — Establish Perimeter

Remove Barriers

Offer to make the first call, drive to the appointment, or sit in the waiting room. For someone with anxiety, reducing unknowns makes treatment feel more accessible.

Step 04 — Call for Backup

Involve Their Support Network

A coordinated approach from trusted friends and family can be powerful. This isn’t about pressure — it’s about showing organized, loving concern from people they trust.

Step 05 — Emergency Protocol

Know When to Call for Help

If there’s immediate danger — severe panic, self-harm, or complete inability to function — call 988 (Suicide & Crisis Lifeline) or 911. For guidance on next steps, call us anytime at (857) 312-1697.

Our admissions team can guide you through next steps — even if your loved one isn’t ready yet.
