The Psychology of Depression and Anxiety - Dr. Scott Eilers

Why Relaxation Techniques Don’t Work For You


Listen Later

Relaxation techniques aren't failing you - they're just incomplete. Most experts only teach half the solution, leaving you stuck in an endless cycle of anxiety.

Effective stress management requires both physical and psychological interventions. Your brain's natural stress response operates on multiple levels, demanding a more sophisticated approach.
A portion of this video is in partnership with Happier. Happier is a meditation app made for those of us who struggle to find time, space, and belief that meditation can work for us.
It’s not about “enlightenment culture” or becoming a guru. It’s simply made to help us experience the enormous benefits of meditation on a more regular basis.
Happier is giving away free 1-year subscriptions to the app to those who have struggled with meditation in the past. Offer expires 10/30 at 11:59PM.
