Discussing Potential Procedures
To alleviate Alex’s anxiety and encourage his participation in decision-making regarding potential procedures, it would be essential to use positive reinforcement and make sure that he is feeling comfortable and safe. For instance, a calm and reassuring tone while explaining the procedures can help reduce his nervousness. Additionally, it gives Alex choices regarding how he feels about certain situations and procedures. These procedures would allow him to feel more conscious about what will happen. These essential strategies will empower him to feel more in control of a problem. You can use words such as “good job” or “ well done,” which can help ease his anxiety and build trust.
