I forget what this technique is called -- full body relaxation? -- but the idea is that you tense your muscles really tightly, as if you're squeezing all your anger and anxiety, and the release it. It's kind of like deep breaths in and out, except with muscle stuff.
My therapist recommended this to me and it doesn't help me, but she says it's worth a try and that some clients really benefit from it.
Sorry if that's not helpful to you, but it's worth a try. Takes like 10 seconds to do.
Also, she said daydreaming can help.
