This podcast is the narrated version of my article 6 Easy Behavioural Interventions for Anxiety.
Behavioural interventions can be highly effective for anxiety as they break the cycle of worry and paralysis by analysis. Getting your client to do something different, however small, can make all the difference.
In this episode I talk about:
- The multi-pronged approach to treating anxiety
- The mysterious power of chewing gum
- Naming the anxiety
- Facing the anxiety
- Breathing away the anxiety
- Grading the anxiety
- Discharging the anxiety
- Teach your clients the AWARE technique
