Phoenix Live: A Weekly Divorce Support Group.

This week's divorce support group topic:

Quieting the Anxiety That Won't Let You Rest

The racing mind. The tight chest. The thoughts that spin out at 2am and won't let you sleep. If divorce has left you living with a low hum of anxiety — or full waves of it — you're far from alone: nearly one in five adults deals with anxiety that interferes with daily life, and a major loss like this turns the volume way up.

The good news is that anxiety is far more manageable than it feels in the moment — and not with one magic fix, but with a handful of practical tools you can actually use. The key insight of this session is that you don't have to wait for anxiety to hit and then scramble. You can get ahead of it.

Together we'll explore simple, research-backed strategies for calming a worried mind — quieting the thought spirals, reclaiming a sense of control, building small rituals that create calm, talking to yourself like a steady coach instead of a critic, and even a breathing technique you can use anywhere to settle your body in minutes. You don't need all of them — just the two or three that work for you.

You'll leave with your own small toolkit for those overwhelming moments — and the reassurance that the anxiety you're feeling is a normal response to an enormous change, not a sign that something's wrong with you.
