PLEASE NOTE: Different techniques work for different individuals, and it's important to choose what resonates with you.

​

EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique): EFT involves tapping on specific acupressure points while focusing on the emotional distress. It can help reduce the intensity of negative emotions, alleviate anxiety, and release traumatic memories.

​

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) Therapy: EMDR utilizes bilateral stimulation, often through eye movements, to help process traumatic memories. It can reduce the emotional charge associated with trauma and promote adaptive processing.

​

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT): CBT focuses on changing negative thought patterns and behaviors. It's effective for anxiety by helping individuals identify and challenge irrational beliefs, leading to healthier coping strategies.

​

Mindfulness Meditation: Mindfulness meditation cultivates present moment awareness and detachment from distressing thoughts. It can reduce anxiety by promoting relaxation and a non-judgmental attitude towards emotions.

​

Breathing Techniques: Deep breathing exercises, like diaphragmatic breathing or 4-7-8 technique, activate the body's relaxation response. They help lower heart rate, blood pressure, and reduce the physiological symptoms of anxiety.

​

Progressive Muscle Relaxation: This technique involves systematically tensing and then releasing muscle groups, promoting physical relaxation and helping to alleviate tension-related anxiety.

​

Grounding Techniques: Grounding techniques help anchor individuals in the present moment. Methods like the 5-4-3-2-1 technique involve engaging the senses to shift focus away from distressing thoughts.

​

Yoga and Tai Chi: These practices combine physical movement with breath control and meditation, promoting relaxation, stress reduction, and physical well-being, which can help alleviate anxiety.

​

Art and Expressive Therapies: Engaging in creative activities like art, music, or writing can provide an outlet for expressing emotions and processing trauma in a non-verbal manner.

​

Narrative Therapy: Narrative therapy helps individuals reframe their life stories, allowing them to separate their identity from traumatic experiences and regain a sense of agency and empowerment.

​

Somatic Experiencing: This approach focuses on bodily sensations associated with trauma and aims to release pent-up energy from the nervous system, promoting healing and reducing anxiety.

​

Hypnotherapy: Hypnotherapy can address anxiety and trauma by accessing the subconscious and universal mind promoting relaxation, facilitating reprocessing of traumatic memories.

​

Biofeedback: Biofeedback uses technology to monitor physiological responses and teaches individuals how to control functions like heart rate, helping them manage anxiety through self-regulation.
