Start small and work your way up. If you can, try being separated for really short intervals -- minutes, then a half-hour, then an hour. If you are like me, engrossing yourself in a task really helps. When you are back together, you will automatically be conditioning yourself that everything is OK! You were separated, and nothing bad actually happened. Keep practicing. Eventually, being by yourself will be second nature!

I find that a little token works pretty well. It can be a coin, a stuffed animal, hey, even a rock... something that will keep you grounded and connected to whatever you're separated from. I have a blanket!

If you are separated from someone you love and you can manage to contact them somehow, try your best to talk to or meet with them whenever you can.

Counter every thought of yours that tells you that something is going to go wrong with a question on the possibilities that could go right. Try to ask yourself logical questions, such as Why am I worrying, Do I have any valid reason to? These can help you remove yourself from thinking with just your emotions.

if its only a temp separation by reminding yourself that they will be back, keep yourself busy and communicate with them if possible often.

Experiencing the separation and the resulting reality of the 'sky not falling' is a way to desensitize yourself from the anxiety.

The Facebook "Seen" message gives me a lot of anxiety! When I see that the person has "seen" the message, but does not reply, I start thinking about all the possible reasons why they would 'ignore' me... Does anyone else feel this? If so, how do you cope?
