Understanding Relationship Anxiety

Relationship anxiety can arise even in stable situations, and it often stems from various underlying fears. One common concern discussed is the anxiety experienced when a partner transitions to a new stage in life, such as going to college, leading to fears of potential breakups. Acceptance of the reality and possible outcomes is crucial, along with creating a contingency plan to manage these worries. By putting the worries into perspective and recognizing that breakups, while painful, are not life-threatening, one can better cope with these feelings of anxiety.
