Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)  is one of the most widely used evidence-based psychotherapies for treating various mental health conditions, including anxiety, depression, PTSD, and OCD. CBT operates on the principle that  thoughts, emotions, and behaviors are interconnected , and by changing maladaptive thought patterns, individuals can influence their emotions and behaviors positively.

The technique of submerging your face in cold water to relieve anxiety and depression is rooted in the mammalian dive reflex and vagal nerve stimulation . It is a simple yet powerful physiological hack that can rapidly calm the nervous system.  When you submerge your face in cold water, your body triggers the dive reflex , which slows your heart rate, conserves oxygen, and induces a state of calm. This is an automatic response seen in marine mammals like seals and dolphins and is also present in humans. The vagus nerve is a key part of the parasympathetic nervous system (rest-and-digest mode). Cold exposure on the face, especially around the eyes, nose, and forehead , stimulates the vagus nerve, leading to decreased stress and increased emotional regulation. Anxiety and depression often involve overactivation of the sympathetic nervous system (fight-or-flight response). Cold water immersion shifts the body into a parasympathetic (calm) state , reducing cortisol (stress hormon...
