does anyone know of any good (effective) ways of reducing anxiety/stress, muscle tension WITHOUT using breathing or meditation techniques.
i've been going to different Ts for years and the one i'm seeing now just will NOT let up on it. she lectures me about the importance of breathing and meditation every single time and tomorrow when i go see her, i'm going to tell her that if she mentions it one more time, i'm not coming back!
i've been trying these methods for YEARS with little to no success and am sick and tired of thinking about it.
there HAS got to be another way.
not everyone is the same and shouldn't be expected to be able to have the same results as everyone else.
i'm sick of this point becoming so big in the Ts mind that they see me as resisting treatment, which i'm not doing..... no one ever seems to want to address my phobia, which is my real problem though. it causes my anxiety, not the other way around. no one gets it.
any ideas or suggestions?
