3. Identify the type of person or type of anxiety each approach tends to suit best
4. Note any reasons someone might find one approach harder than the other and what makes it work when it does

**Help the user choose a starting point:**
5. Suggest which approach might be a better starting point for someone new to anxiety management, and why

If either approach is not a recognised anxiety management method, say so and suggest alternatives.
