What's remarkable is that these techniques are all grounded in solid scientific research. Dr. Lesslar reveals the science behind these methods, providing a compelling case for their efficacy.  Expanding the Anxiety Toolkit:  Dr. Lesslar advocates for expanding the toolkit for managing anxiety. She encourages individuals to explore a plethora of options, empowering them to tailor their anxiety management strategies to their unique needs.
