Discuss progressive muscle relaxation.
What will be an ideal response?
Jacobson (1938) was the first to develop the progressive relaxation procedure, which requires therapists to teach clients how to relax the muscles throughout their bodies. The underlying premise of progressive relaxation training is that muscle tension increases anxiety. Therapists teach clients how to discriminate between when their muscles are tensely contracted and when they are fully relaxed. When clients learn how to discriminate between tense and relaxed muscle groups and to relax muscles upon cue, they reduce tension in their bodies. They begin to have a better understanding of what tension is and how they can control it.
