A therapist can guide individuals on effectively applying the following techniques to manage heightened anxiety:
* Deep Breathing Exercises: Focus on your breath by placing one hand on your abdomen to feel the rise and fall.
* Counting Techniques: Engage in activities like counting forwards or backwards by sevens.
* Five Senses Grounding: Redirect your focus to your surroundings by consciously noticing five things you can see, four things you can hear, three things you can touch, two things you can smell, and one thing you can taste. This technique helps ground you in the present moment.
* Self-Soothing Self-Talk: Practice reassuring internal dialogue, such as "This feeling will pass," or "I am safe right now."
