Nervousness, worry, anxiety, and panic exist on a continuum of unease, each with unique characteristics while sharing common threads. These experiences are linked by physiological responses, patterns of thinking, emotional regulation issues, and avoidance behaviours. While traditional approaches emphasize reducing negative affect, SFBT and ACT approaches seek to increase positive affect and acceptance. Approaches such as mindfulness and deep breathing can help to calm physical symptoms of anxiety. Questioning thoughts can assist with perspective taking, and exposure therapy can help people with avoidance behaviours.
