Along with CBT, an additional evidence based treatment is relaxation training. According to Wicks-Nelson and Israel (2015), relaxation training is a method that “teaches individuals to be aware of their physiological and muscular reactions to anxiety and provide them with skills to control these reactions” (p. 136).
