Hi Eric

Sorry for the late reply, I’ve been busy.

Realistically, do you think there are any changes your family can make to your Chinese New Year celebrations? Is there anything that you would like to do differently when your girlfriend is coming over?

Imagining scenarios that couldn’t possibly happen only increases anxiety. Approaching situations realistically using your problem solving skills is an important skill to practice to help manage your anxiety.

It sounds like you want this year to be special, do you have any ideas how to achieve that?
