Video Therapy Course for Anxiety #6

This is the 6th video of 8 in this video therapy course for Anxiety. In this video I am going to teach you one of the most effective relaxation techniques out there. In the next video I am going to help you to reengage with some of the activities that you may have started avoiding due to your anxiety, this will be challenging, so this skill will be invaluable in helping you to face this challenge. The relaxation I am going to show you in the video is called Progressive Muscular Relaxation. It teaches you to relax by helping you to learn the difference between tension and relaxation. The reason that it is so effective is because it engages both your mind and your body. It is a simple technique but if practiced regularly it can be endlessly effective in helping you to reduce your anxiety. Initially practice the technique lying down as this is the easiest position to relax in. As you become more skilled you can practice sitting, standing and eventually walking around. Practice with your eyes open as the goal is to be relaxed but also alert and able to engage in activities.
