Answer:
- Teaching the client to systematically contract and relax major muscle groups.
Explanation:
Stress is described as the state of intense physical or emotional pressure leading a person to feel anxious, annoyed, or nervous. If such a situation is not handled well, it may turn into depression or any other mental disorders like GAD.
As per the question, the psychologist would 'teach the client to analytically contract and relax the major muscle groups' as this comes under 'Progressive muscle relaxation' exercise which is a methodical relaxation or contraction of muscle that helps in mitigating the tension or stress(musculoskeletal) and reduce the activity of sympathetic system which is the chief cause of stress response in humans.
