Anxiety is your body's protection mechanism. If you run away from your fears you learn to fear them more intensely. If you can feel the fear and stay in the situation a little longer each time, your body will learn that the situation is not a threat. It takes time and practice. The important thing is to take things easy and not overwhelm yourself. No pain no gain is the unfortunate phrase. There is no gentle horse whisperer way of dealing with anxiety that I know of. The way to cure or cope with it can seem a cruel way but it's the best way.
