Anxiety Skills & Strategies $

Learn techniques and tips to decrease the uncomfortable sensations of anxiety…

This program shares research-based tips & strategies, emphasizing skill acquisition.

A variety of long and short self-calming techniques are introduced, along with cognitive and lifestyle behaviours that help prevent escalation of anxiety.

These techniques are especially helpful in the self-regulation of uncomfortable sensations like :

• muscle tension and tightness in the chest & shoulders
• feeling like it’s hard to breathe, or not getting enough air
• palpitations & skipped beats of the heart
• racing mind & anxious thoughts feeling panicky

This three-session skills program meets online for an hour on 3 consecutive Monday evenings.
