Relaxation skills are an important part of treatment for a variety of issues. Whether dealing with anxiety, anger, phobias, trauma, stress, or relationship conflict, these skills are beloved by clients for their quick benefits and practicality.
Our Relaxation Techniques worksheet will help you teach three common skills: deep breathing, visualization, and progressive muscle relaxation. Each technique includes clear instructions to help your clients get the best results.
Prior to sending a client home with this worksheet, we recommend practicing each coping skill in session. Collaborate to identify their favorite skills and to plan how they can incorporate them into their daily routine. Then, share the handout as a reminder of how each one is performed. Encourage your client to practice these techniques daily for the best results.
