Progressive Muscle Relaxation according to Edmund Jacobson
It is one of the most powerful techniques to remove upcoming anxiety, panic attacks, phobias, stress.
Relaxation leads to a physiological state of the organism which is actually the opposite of the way our body reacts during stress or panic attacks.
This state is called a RELAXATION RESPONSE and includes numerous physiological changes such as:
1- lowering the heart rate
2- Slowing down our breathing
3- Lowering our Blood pressure
4- Relaxing muscle tension
5- regulation of metabolism
6- less overanalysing and overthinking
7- Increasing alpha brainwaves
