Progressive Muscle Relaxation
Progressive Muscle Relaxation is a treatment in which individuals tense and release their muscle groups in a sequential order. This helps reduce anxiety and tension. It also teaches individuals to differentiate between muscle tension and relaxation.

Diaphragmatic breathing is a way in which people breathe using their diaphragm. This type of breathing has been found to promote relaxation and reduce stress.
Psychoeducation (Placebo)
