Some writings from me:

Article, "How to Not (Even Accidentally) Be a D**k When Your Person Has Anxiety" by Margaret Howard:
https://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/how-to-not-even-accidenta_b_9387296.html
I wrote this one after many requests from clients for something they could give their partners and others to read in order to understand what helps and what doesn't help when a person is experiencing anxiety.
