Coping with triggers - looking for advice

[notetaker]

Hoping someone can offer some ideas - I'm looking for strategies for coping with a particular person that triggers my anxiety. Unfortunately, I can't cut them out of my life anytime soon.

Sorry to hear that
Have you tried playing with a piece of jewellery or some other type of 'fiddling' distraction?

If it's deeper/more serious you could try reflective repatterning or head trash clearance
