RELAXATION TAPES
Relaxation tapes are available from Anxiety & Stress Relief. This tape is two tapes in one. One side has a deep relaxation exercise called “Autogenics” which helps you create a visual image of getting a massage and teaches you how to lower your heart rate, slow your breathing, and direct blood flow away from the large muscles to the hands and feet.
The other side of the tape is a “panic control exercise.” This exercise coaches you down from a panic attack. Many people find the panic control exercise helpful for more moderate anxiety episodes as well. The exercise teaches you techniques that will reduce your stress level in a matter of minutes or seconds, and help you feel calm. These techniques can be practiced anywhere in any stressful situation, giving your body a break between stressors and a chance to recuperate.
These tapes can be purchased by emailing Dr. Lightstone at raypsyd@anxietyandstressrelief.net or by calling (516) 596-9150.
