By Debra O'Donnell, LCSW, LMFT

Two years ago one of my best friends from graduate school found me on Facebook.  We had been out of touch for ten years.

Self-Care and Anxiety Relief Techniques

5/19/2016

 
Picture
By Cliff Schuman, LMFT

There are many anxiety symptoms that come from childhood traumas. These traumas could be a mixture of emotional, psychological or physical experiences that cause an adaptive reaction in one’s body.

Ongoing stress, especially when rooted in childhood, leads one to be in a semi-permanent state of hyperarousal. This hyperarousal has physiological effects that include elevated heart rate, blood pressure, impaired metabolism, and can result in chronic disease.
It is for this reason that many Cognitive Behavioral Techniques for treating trauma or anxiety begin with self-care strategies that have roots in ancient yogic techniques. These include breathing techniques, meditation and yoga poses, which not only have physical benefits of reducing hyperarousal, but are also very helpful in re-framing negative mindsets.
