Nice to meet you @Manarinorange!

A CBT technique for anxiety that helps me is splashing cold water on my face.

Or better yet, hold a ziplock bag of ice cubes on your cheeks and forehead when anxiety is really high.

My T suggested tensing all of my muscles for a few seconds and then relaxing - that helped me too.
