Autogenic Training: What You Should Know

Autogenic training is a stress-reduction approach that focuses on developing sensations of peace and relaxation in the body.

According to Sanam Hafeez, PsyD, a neuropsychologist and Columbia University faculty member, it helps decrease anxiety originating from situations or settings that may overwhelm us with stress, irritation, or despair.

Autogenic training was created in the 1920s by German psychologist Johannes Heinrich Schultz as a means to target the physical manifestations of stress by employing relaxation exercises to gain control over these processes.

According to Hafeez, this technique is frequently used in conjunction with cognitive behavioral therapy, but it can also be employed on its own to assist people in coping with stress.
Autogenic Progressive Relaxation's Advantages

According to the National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health Trusted Source, the goal of most relaxation techniques, including autogenic training, is to encourage your body's natural relaxation response by slowing breathing, lowering blood pressure, and, ultimately, producing a feeling of increased well-being.

Autogenic training, which was originally intended to educate people on how to stimulate physical relaxation on their own, is now commonly used in counseling sessions to manage anxiety symptoms, which Hafeez defines as any mental or physical manifestations of anxiety.

"Autogenic training can help with conditions including social anxiety disorder (SAD), general anxiety disorder (GAD), depression, and sleeplessness," says Hafeez.

Autogenic training is also beneficial for coping with daily stress and can even aid with panic episodes.
How to Go About It

You can start using these relaxation techniques on your own once you've gotten used to the process or just download and use the guided meditation on this podcast episode.

Set yourself up. Make sure you have a peaceful, comfortable spot to unwind before you begin. This should ideally be the same location where you practice relaxation techniques every time.

These exercises can be done either lying down or sitting up. Remove your spectacles and loosen any clothing that is too tight.

Begin by focusing on your breathing. Slowing down your breathing is the first step. Start with calm, even breaths, and make sure you're in a comfortable position. "I am fully peaceful," say yourself once you've gained control of your breathing. S
