Many therapists recommend journaling to deal with anxiety (and you can definitely do that if it helps!) but Pruden recommended this unique take as well. "Find a quiet place and write a story about a child (the child can be you) who is anxious and what they do to handle their anxiety," she explained. You'll feel catharsis and an emotional release as you tap into your creativity, plus you'll be forced to focus on creating the story, rather than dwelling on your anxious thoughts.
