Biofeedback
Biofeedback is a self-help technique in which individuals are taught to address the physiological symptoms that are associated with stress, anxiety, and other concerns. This is accomplished by incorporating your breathing, focusing on your heart rate, and changing your thought process to make the necessary efficient adjustments.
Biofeedback utilizes highly sensitive computerized instruments that can let you know when you're stressed or relaxed, even when you may not realize it. Specialists in many different fields use biofeedback to help individuals cope with stress, anxiety, depression, anger, test anxiety, and many other concerns.
