Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a condition that develops in response to traumatic experiences, resulting in symptoms including such as flashbacks, hypervigilance, and a current sense of threat. The Psychology Tools For Overcoming PTSD Audio Collection offers a structured series of exercises designed to help clients manage these symptoms effectively.

Progressive Muscle Relaxation (PMR) is a widely used method for reducing stress and anxiety by deliberately tensing and subsequently relaxing various muscle groups. This process sends signals to the brain indicating safety and relaxation. PMR is versatile, being applicable in both therapeutic and self-help contexts, and is especially beneficial for clients with heightened anxiety or PTSD, where the fight-or-flight response may be overly sensitive.
