For Families

How to Help a Loved One with Anxiety

Supporting someone through anxiety is its own journey. Here’s where to start.

1

Educate Yourself About Anxiety

Anxiety disorders are medical conditions rooted in brain chemistry, not personal weakness. Understanding how anxiety works helps you respond with patience rather than frustration.

2

Avoid Accommodating Avoidance

While it feels helpful to shield a loved one from anxiety triggers, this can reinforce avoidance patterns. Gently encourage them to face fears at their own pace with professional support.

3

Be Patient and Validate Their Experience

Avoid saying “just calm down” or “there’s nothing to worry about.” Instead, acknowledge their feelings: “I can see this is really hard for you, and I’m here.”

4

Explore Family Therapy

Trailhead offers monthly family education groups via Zoom plus individual family sessions. Understanding how anxiety affects the family system is essential to lasting healing.

5

Take Care of Your Own Health

Your mental health matters too. Living with someone who has severe anxiety can be draining. Consider your own therapy or support groups for caregivers.

6

Learn Grounding Techniques Together

Practices like box breathing, progressive muscle relaxation, and 5-4-3-2-1 grounding can be done together. This creates shared coping tools and strengthens your bond.

Our family support program is open to all family members 18+, past and present clients. Call (857) 312-1697
When They Say No

What If They Refuse Treatment?

It’s common for someone struggling with anxiety to resist help. Here’s how to navigate that.

Path 1
Acknowledge the Anxiety About Getting Help
Ironically, anxiety itself often makes people anxious about seeking treatment. Acknowledge that the prospect of calling, showing up, and talking to strangers is genuinely difficult — and that the treatment team understands this.
Path 2
Use Motivational Approaches
Rather than ultimatums, use open-ended questions and reflective listening. Express concern without judgment: “I’ve noticed you seem really stressed and overwhelmed lately — would you be open to talking to someone?”
Path 3
Start Small
A full treatment program can feel overwhelming for someone with anxiety. Suggest starting with a single phone call or telehealth consultation. Trailhead offers free confidential assessments from the comfort of home.
Path 4
Normalize Treatment
Anxiety disorders are the most common mental health condition in America. Remind them that millions of people benefit from treatment every year, and that seeking help is a sign of courage, not weakness.
Path 5
Know When to Call for Help
If your loved one is in immediate danger — panic attacks causing physical harm, agoraphobia preventing basic self-care, or co-occurring suicidal thoughts — call 988 (Suicide & Crisis Lifeline) or 911. For non-emergency guidance, our admissions team is available to help.
