Darnell has been under a lot of stress lately. His therapist recommends progressive muscle relaxation as a stress management technique. How does his therapist reply when Darnell asks her how the technique works?
◦ "Muscles produce physical stress when they contract; this physical stress is the basis for the psychological stress you're experiencing."
◦ "With the help of this fMRI machine, we're going to train you to use your mind to control your brain."
◦ "While you're focused on moving your muscles systematically, we'll play stress-relieving music into headphones; this will lead to subconscious stress reduction."
◦ "Relaxed muscles and stress are incompatible with each other, so releasing muscle tension can help relieve stress."
