In the normality test results, the significance value of the pretest is included in the normal distribution with a Sig value = 0.365 (p> 0.05) as well as the significance value of the posttest is included in the normal distribution with a Sig value = 0.371 (p> 0.05). in the pretest the significance value is 0.583 (≥0.05) and in the posttest the significance value is 0.560 (≥0.05) thus in the initial test (pretest) and the final test (posttest) both have homogeneous data. Finally, in the Hypothesis test using the Paired Sample T-test, the Significance value of the pretest and posttest is <0.001 so that H1 is accepted, thus the researcher can conclude that the therapy succeeded in reducing anxiety levels for most participants, only three did not experience changes.
