Beginner Mindfulness
The tools and coping skills on this website (audio and videos) are intended to demonstrate different strategies that can possibly relieve stress and anxiety symptoms. These tools are not intended to take the place of therapy with a licensed professional. Some techniques can help when you are experiencing stress symptoms in the moment (reactive), while other techniques are meant to be practiced regularly or daily (proactive). All skills should be practiced prior to trying to use them during stress or in a crisis. The more familiar and comfortable you are with the technique, the more likely it will help you. If techniques are helping you should experience anything from slight to significant reduction in your distress or disturbance levels. If you are not experiencing relief, contact a licensed professional to help you identify and tailor strategies to meet your needs. Trying different techniques will help you find more tools to add to your personal stress management tool kit.
