In today’s episode, we discuss how therapists can integrate simple, trauma-informed breathing techniques into clinical sessions to help clients regulate their nervous systems, reduce anxiety, and reconnect with their bodies. We will go into the benefits of breathwork and safety considerations. I will also share practical examples of breathwork practices for you to try in your therapy sessions. We also discuss the importance of using these techniques preventatively, how to individualize practices for clients and offer guidance on incorporating these methods ethically and safely.

"Breathwork is one of the simplest, most effective tools you can offer your clients. It can help with racing thoughts, soothe heightened emotions, and create moments of calm, even in the most overwhelming situations.”
