This is a quick and simple way to reduce tension, panic and anxiety. It uses slow, timed breathing. You can choose to use different sound cues to let you know when to breathe in and when to breath out. It is always nice to have non-medication ways to reduce anxiety.

I heard about this technique at a scientific meeting at the American Psychiatric Association annual meeting. It has been tested in a variety of settings. They found it helpful in individuals with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. I was impressed, so I downloaded it and have recommended it to patients who are anxious or panicky. The technique is simple. You can load it onto your iPod or other mobile device. This download works well for adults and older adolescents. Younger children need to use a different breathing speed so this particular download may be less helpful for them.
