Fill in the gaps naming 7 strategies that you could use to reduce your anxiety levels if you’re feeling anxious.

Fear Ladders are like action plans.

• They work by rating the situations you find scary on a scale from 1 (not at all scared) to 10 (so scared you want to run).
  
• By doing this you can work out which situations are the easiest to start with.
  
• You put the least scariest situation at the bottom of the ladder,
  
• working up to the most scary at the top of the ladder.

Read the example below and put the situations in the right order on the fear ladder.

Example:

• Anisha has a facial difference and gets very nervous speaking in front of groups of people because she doesn’t like people looking at her.
  
• She has a Business forecast presentation that she has to present in front of her colleagues in a few months which she is dreading and is already having nightmares about.
  
• Normally Anisha calls in sick if she has to do a presentation, which results in her feeling even more anxious the next time she has to do something in public.
  
• A fear ladder can help Anisha to slowly build up to presenting in front of her colleagues.

Here are 6 smaller steps that Anisha needs to take in order to achieve her end goal.

Good social skills can really help people cope with a visible difference and they make socialising easier and more fun.
