Actually my anxiety aggravates a reaction I get from agressive callers. I seem to react to a tone a voice. I think I got something bad anchored to that. The severe anxiety was diagnosed with my ADD by a neurophychologist. It seems relevant to it. My family doctor and my actual neurologist both don’t really believe in the anxiety diagnosis. So I’m not treated for it.
The coach helped me in the sense that she gave me a clue as to what was triggering the attacks. And she gave me tricks to focus myself on something other than the caller’s anger. And tricks to get the caller to calm down, feel understood. She made me realise that the tone of voice is key in avoiding an escalade in agressivity. As of now, it’s working I think. Although, I haven’t had a real agressive caller in a while (or I have and it’s really working ’cause I calm them before they get really furious?!).
