Coping with Health Anxiety While Traveling

When traveling with health anxiety, it is important to know your triggers and communicate them to the people you are traveling with. Avoid discussing news stories or pointing out any perceived symptoms. Practice grounding techniques, such as celebrating small moments every hour and engaging your senses to stay present. Consider using an evidence checklist to remind yourself of past situations where your anxiety proved to be unfounded. Discuss your anxiety triggers and coping mechanisms with a therapist beforehand, and consider therapy sessions during your travels if needed.
