In this episode Sarah Reeder (College and Career Readiness Counselor) and I cover the most common symptoms of generalized anxiety along with the difference between stress and anxiety. We discuss specific strategies and techniques that are effective to reduce the level of general anxiety someone may experience.  The strategies presented include breathing exercises and the physiological sigh, mindfulness, body scan and dealing with automatic negative thoughts. The skills and techniques are provided to students for use while in school, but the strategies can be applied in most other settings as well.
