Deep Breathing and Reframing Tools for Reducing Anxiety
Written By: Rebekah Wilson, AMFT
Are you feeling anxious or overwhelmed and unsure how to manage it in the moment? You’re not alone, and you’re in the right place. Hi, I’m Rebekah, an Associate Marriage & Family Therapist here at Roubicek and Thacker. With advanced training in EMDR Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Emotionally Focused Therapy, I help individuals build practical tools for navigating life’s stressors with more confidence and clarity.
Welcome to another installment of my video blog series, where I share insights and strategies I use with clients to support emotional health and resilience. In today’s video, we’re focusing on two simple yet powerful tools that can reduce anxiety and support adaptive functioning during stressful times: deep breathing and cognitive reframing. These tools can help calm your nervous system, ground you in the present moment, and shift your perspective in ways that promote peace and clarity.
In past videos, we’ve talked about how self-awareness and communication play a role in mental wellness. This video builds on those ideas by equipping you with easy-to-use techniques that you can practice anytime anxiety starts to take over. Whether you're navigating daily stress or feeling the weight of something bigger, these tools are here to support your journey toward greater emotional balance.
