High levels of unhealthy anxiety that lead to feelings of being overwhelmed is one of the number one causes of relapse for those recovering from substance use disorder. As the anxious feelings become more uncomfortable, the urge to self-medicate by abusing drugs or alcohol often becomes too hard to resist. Regular practice of deep relaxation has been shown to help manage this type of anxiety. We understand the many struggles that people in recovery have with anxiety. Counselors and therapists have been recommending various forms of guided visualization, progressive muscle relaxation and meditation for many years. They have long known that practicing this type of deep relaxation has emotional, physical and spiritual benefits.
