Dear Cali Chica:

Maybe it is easier to contain anxiety at work because at work the danger is clearly defined to patients losing their lives. The danger is one and it is contained in one of those boxes you mentioned, a box with solid walls that keep all inside, safe from leakage.

At home the perceived dangers are multiple and less defined. The more you define those dangers, the more aware of them, in a calm way, the less anxiety you will feel, over lots of time and a growing and growing awareness.
