Summary

In this episode of the Anxiety Coaches Podcast, I discuss the importance of breath work in the treatment of anxiety disorders. I refer to an article by Z-Health that highlights the customized training protocols for breath work and emphasizes the connection between breathing and anxiety. Mainstream treatments often overlook breathing interventions, despite the established link between the two.

I share my personal experience with breathing techniques and how they helped me manage panic attacks. The article also mentions various breathwork approaches, such as diaphragmatic breathing and slow breathing techniques, that have been found effective in reducing anxiety symptoms. However, there are contrasting views on breath work involving hyperventilation, as it can potentially trigger anxiety in some individuals.

I stress the importance of tailoring breathing interventions to each individual's specific needs and responses. I believe that integrating breath work into mainstream therapeutic protocols would be a cost-effective and accessible approach to managing anxiety disorders, particularly for those who cannot take medications or have had negative experiences with them.

I encourage listeners to advocate for this type of treatment and spread awareness about its effectiveness. If you are still experiencing anxiety, trouble sleeping, or panic and haven't found relief from medications, it's time to consider breathwork. Research different techniques and find a protocol that suits your specific needs.

It's important to take into account any underlying health issues you may have, such as asthma or sensitivity to changes in breathing. Discuss these options with your healthcare provider so they can help guide you towards a protocol that works for you.
