The Importance of Being Very Similar to Yourself With Anxiety

Jenna: It's really important in being very similar to yourself with this idea that when I inserted the similar past experience that I had to what I'm hearing someone share, I too believe it to be my best attempt at connecting. Nicole: In those moments, we could really lose the important differences. We could be asserting or inserting aspects of our experiences that aren't similar to what this other person has lived themselves. Jenna: You also don't have to be a mind reader and just hope for the best that they feel heard. Ask them if there's anything else they would like to share.
