Tackling Anxiety with CBT - how to lower the body's physical threat response


We are thrilled to introduce a comprehensive video series that dives deep into anxiety and explores how Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) can offer effective solutions to manage it. Our mission is to provide you with practical tools and techniques that empower you to reduce anxiety and reclaim control over your life.

In this specific video, we focus on how to lower the body's physical threat response.

Anxiety often triggers a heightened physical threat response, causing symptoms like an increased heart rate, rapid breathing, and a sense of panic. In this video, we guide you through essential techniques to calm these physiological responses and bring your body back to a state of balance.

Key Highlights:

  • Breathing Techniques: Learn the power of controlled breathing. Techniques like box breathing and deep breathing can significantly lower your heart rate, reducing the immediate physical threat response.

  • Bilateral Stimulation: Discover how self-administered bilateral stimulation can soothe your limbic system, the brain's emotional center, allowing you to regain focus and objective observation.

  • Mindfulness Practices: Integrate mindfulness with physiological techniques to cultivate a calm and centered state of mind. By practicing mindfulness, you can enhance your ability to observe and respond to anxiety triggers with clarity and calm.

By watching this video, you'll gain valuable insights and practical steps to lower your physical threat response and manage anxiety more effectively. We invite you to join us on this journey to better mental health.
