Thanks to your information, I'm doing a lot better. On the good days, I don't require a lot of reassurance because I now know what to do. However, on the more difficult days, I go back to your website for reassurance and it helps a lot. My question is, is it okay for me to go to your website for reassurance whenever I need to, or should I work at steadying myself without your website's reassurance?

Well, we created the information in the website to educate and to reassure as you work on your recovery. And as you work on your recovery, your confidence will build in the skills you're learning. So, it's okay to go back to our website as often as you want to help develop and build confidence in those skills.

You'll find that as your confidence builds, you'll be going less and less back to the website because you'll feel more confident as your recovery progresses. So, in the meantime, go back as often as you like.

But just recognize that as you start to build confidence in your skills and as you make recovery, you'll be going there less and less, and that's a good thing.

We do want you to steady yourself, self soothe, self-reassure, absolutely! But that comes in time. But in the meantime, you're welcome to use our materials as often as you like.

The combination of good self-help information and working with an experienced anxiety disorder therapist, coach, or counselor is the most effective way to address anxiety and its many symptoms. Until the core causes of anxiety are addressed – which we call the underlying factors of anxiety – a struggle with anxiety unwellness can return again and again. Dealing with the underlying factors of anxiety is the best way to address problematic anxiety.
