For individuals grappling with anxiety, The Speakmans have revealed a straightforward yet effective technique. The NHS recognizes generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) as a persistent concern over various situations and issues, rather than one particular event.
Therapist Eva Speakman suggests that their method not only benefits those experiencing signs of anxiety but also helps in reducing pain and nausea. The technique leverages an acupressure point known as the inner frontier gate point located in the arm.
To try the technique, Eva advises placing three fingers on the wrist where the wrist line is and pressing down on the opposite side with your thumb. This method, when combined with a deep breath and a few repetitions, may offer relief from anxiety symptoms.
