Relaxation Therapy Course No human being can function without stimulation & challenges, & stress & stressful situations very often produce this challenge. It provides the excitement, impetus & motivation but unfortunately, also the distress & anxiety. If we have the ability to get ready for action, our bodies also have the built-in ability to relax. Through the parasympathetic nervous system & quieting of the endocrine system, this ability is the body's natural tendency to restore to homeostasis. The continued, fast-paced lifestyle very often keeps the stress-response activated. These people are then physically, mentally & emotionally unable to relax & are in need of therapy. Relaxation Therapy techniques are useful skills which can be used to fight the stress demon of our times.
