We’re continuing our series on anxiety in 2020 with an interesting and unique tool called floating. Floating, also known as floatation therapy, and R.E.S.T. (Restricted Environmental Stimulation Therapy) is a process whereby almost all external stimuli is reduced. Floating can provide you with the perfect space for introspection, personal growth, self-awareness, and can help those who might suffer from PTSD and trauma. Floating has also shown to be effective in decreasing the effects of anxiety and depression, and also increasing calmness, mindfulness, and sense of well-being. 

Join Lucia and her guest Sarah LaTeano, founder of Float 41 a floatation therapy center in West Hartford CT as we explore floatation therapy: what it is, how it works, its many benefits, and how it can help you.
