30+ Interventions For Anxiety Relief
Getting an idea of how intense the anxiety is feeling will be a good indicator for which types of strategies might be most helpful for you. For instance, if anxiety feels lower and more manageable, perhaps a meditation would be beneficial. If anxiety feels more intense, movement, grounding and more body-based strategies would likely help more. Ultimately, you get to be the judge of what is most helpful for you for the various levels of anxiety you experience.
ACT - A Gentler Approach To Anxiety
Acceptance & Commitment Therapy offers a gentle, compassionate and mindful approach to both our internal and external experiences. It empowers us to align with our values and to cultivate self-compassion as we respond to our inner world (ie. our thoughts, emotions, memories, etc.).
As we practice Acceptance & Commitment Therapy, whether it be for anxiety, depression, stress-management, self-esteem, etc., we are choosing to turn towards our experiences with curiosity and acceptance, rather than constantly trying to change them.
