Читать книгу Self-Help for Your Nerves: Learn to relax and enjoy life again by overcoming stress and fear - Dr. Weekes Claire - Страница 21

First, look at yourself and notice how you are sitting in your chair. I have no doubt that you are tensely shrinking from the feelings within you and yet, at the same time, are ready to ‘listen in’ in apprehension? I want you to do the exact opposite. I want you to sit as comfortably as you can, relax to the best of your ability by letting your arms and legs sag into the chair as if charged with lead, and take slow, deep breaths through your partly opened mouth. Now examine and do not shrink from the sensations that have been upsetting you. I want you to examine each carefully, to analyse and describe it aloud to yourself. For example, you may say, ‘My hands sweat, they tremble and feel sore …’ This may sound a little silly and you may smile. So much the better.
