Anxiety is a felt sense of threat. This doesn’t mean there actually is a threat, it’s about what the brain perceives. The antidote to a felt sense of threat is a felt sense of safety. Again, this has little to do with what is actually safe, but about what that young brain and body need.

So, to offer the antidote to anxiety, we have to understand what that child needs. This will be different for all children, but it will always start with safety through relationship - not just any relationship, but one in which the child feels seen, held, and cared for.

There are a couple of reasons for this. The first is that relational safety is an instinctive need. Babies wouldn’t survive if there wasn’t an adult to take care of them, so children are wired to feel safest with an adult they feel close to, and threatened in the felt absence of one. It’s why relationships are so key to anxiety. Parents can’t be everywhere all the time. Another adult can provide a felt sense of safety in the parent’s absence, as long as the relationship is safe, warm, and loving.

The second reason relationship is so important is because it can unlock the door to that child’s world. When children feel safe, they will show us more clearly what they need, but more importantly, they will let us be the one that provides this in meaningful ways - validation, trust, confidence in their capacity to cope or do hard things, cues of safety. Of course, we can offer all of these things from outside their world, but it might not hold as much heft until they let us in. Only then will they grant us enough authority to guide and influence them.

Entry into their world only happens by invitation, and only when they’re ready. This will take time. We can’t force our way in, or talk our way in. It just doesn’t work that way, for any of us. It takes time, a gentle hand, an open heart, and a curious mind. Rather than telling them they’re safe, we’ll get further by asking or noticing what makes them feel safe or unsafe. Then, when they open the door to us, they will be more likely to believe us when we tell them they are safe, that they are brave enough and strong enough, and that they can do hard things
