Episode 4: Breathe Easy – Simple Breathing Exercises to Manage Stress

In this Friday Healing episode, we’ll focus on an essential tool for managing CPTSD: your breath. Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or simply need to find a moment of calm, breathing exercises can help you regain control and center yourself in the present moment.

We’ll begin by exploring the connection between stress and breathing, especially for those living with Complex PTSD. You’ll learn why simple breathing exercises can create immediate relief and how they help regulate your body’s stress response. Then, I’ll guide you through a basic breathing exercise you can use anytime you’re feeling dysregulated.

This episode is all about finding a moment of peace in the chaos, and I encourage you to practice alongside me. Take a deep breath, relax, and remember: healing happens one breath at a time.

Don’t forget to tune in next week for our main episode, "How Trauma Affects the Brain: A Breakdown," where we’ll dive deeper into understanding the brain’s role in trauma and recovery.
