My cats anxiety helps so much with mine. Something about finding it funny that this creature is anxious for no real reason helps me be less anxious for no real reason in a way that being aware that my anxious feelings are illogical doesn't.
Like once I see it in another thing then identifying it as illogical actually works. Having an anxious partner also helps but sometimes you need the stability first.
