Summarize this article in one sentence.
If you are continuing to have difficulty with managing your anxiety and triggers, therapy may be a beneficial option to help you better handle your symptoms. Professional counselors and therapists are trained specifically to help with coping skills such as anxiety triggers. Find therapists in your area by getting a list of providers through your health insurance. Consider contacting your school counselor, university counseling center, or your work's Employee Assistance Program for referrals to counseling. Find out about if the therapist has expertise in your anxiety triggers. You can even ask the therapist what kind of evidence-based practices they use. Different types of therapy techniques include CBT, DBT, Solution Focused, Strengths Based, and Prolonged Exposure Therapy. Research the techniques the therapist uses to learn more about them. There may be other treatment options to help with your anxiety if it continues to impair your daily life. Unavoidable anxiety triggers mean that you may have to encounter certain people or situations regularly and feel overwhelmed often. Talk with your health care provider or a mental health specialist about medication options if other strategies are not working for you. A doctor or psychiatrist can prescribe medications to help with your symptoms. Talk with your primary care provider about options or a referral to a specialist for advice. Talk with a mental health specialist about your medication treatment, and whether it has been beneficial. Often a combination of medication and therapy are best for severe anxiety. Many people face anxiety that is overwhelming and unavoidable. Depending on the type of anxiety that you're facing, talk with a counselor or therapist about support groups in your area. Support groups are often less expensive than individual therapy. Working as a group on your anxiety symptoms can help you feel less isolated or judged. A support group is a safe space to engage with others about your concerns. Many support groups are led by trained mental health professionals or peer support specialists who have been through the same anxious feelings as you. Avoid isolating yourself when anxiety hits. Often this action will in turn make you feel less willing to handle anxiety the next time. After an anxiety-provoking situation has occurred, instead focus on turning to friends or family that support and reassure you. Have two or three friends or family that you can call when you're feeling anxious or overwhelmed. Talk with them in advance about them acting as your "calling buddies." Do activities with your friends or family. If you are hesitant to do things in groups, then find activities to do with just one friend or family member. Trust and confide in them. The people that love and care about you often want to be helpful and supportive as you learn to handle your anxiety.
