skilled relaxation testing

Posted by john h on November 18, 1998 at 16:35:56:

walt, i have attempted to get tested twice (using self hypnosis,autogenics) with a gsr machine and skin temp machine. every time i have had a problem getting really relaxed and i dont quite hit the "relaxation response". in my opinion i almost always hit it at home ( real heavy feeling throughout my body, no external thoughts etc) my psychologist says it is mild performance anxiety when i am at his office.any tips? i want to make sure i am not wasting my time.

Dear john,

Most all biofeedback instructors will rent you a GSR to take home for a week or a month, etc. Prices are reasonable. Take one home and use it every time you practice your technique. I have never had anyone who needed a machine more than a month. Most only need it for a week or so.

Let us know what happens.

Walt
