Hey
Thanks for reaching out even tho it’s for ur close friend. I can understand ur concerned for her well-being. Anxiety can be understood better when we recognise it’s triggers. Like u mentioned thunders n crackers n then death of a loved one. It would help if she could address these in therapy and help explore her underlying fears in a safe n private space.
Next Steps
Pls guide her to ur best

Kindly address this with the help of a counselling session.
Therapies help people channelise their lives in a positive direction and also manage mind plus emotion.
I use Vedic psychology along with CBT , art therapy and more techniques to support my counselle .
Depending on her situation we will take things forward.
Next Steps
Counselling is recommended and in self help ask her to start yoga in person with someone
