Diaphragmatic Breathing: Anxiety Skills #12

Saq²t

Thank You

The standing on my head didn't work out so good but the yawning has become my specialty.
You're the best.
Thank you.

Thanks mom❤

Actually, I have so much of task completion anxiety. And I try to calm my nervous system. And finally, this video helped me. And at the same time, I also have a supplement strategy. Which helps us to calm down our nervous system , In my research, I found that L- theanine supplements can help us to calm our nervous system. It's not the case that we take L- theanine And then we just become anxious. L- theanine can only help us to calm our nervous system. And the calming of our nervous system is up to our practice ..

Thank you so much for these breathing techniques videos. It's very helpful advice. 😊🙏

Thank you :)

When you said " you dont have to leave the situation " it hit me. I always leave. I can do this, Thank you 💓

I was given this video by my therapist. Seems like a good solution for panic attacks

I have a question
Last few weeks or more I am constantly sighing and taking in deep breaths as if I’m hyperventilating…I think it’s due to my anxiety and stress. I have been dealing with anxiety since I was a teen. Why do I constantly sigh and take these deep breaths? It feels awful and it’s super annoying and very uncomfortable. Feels like my lungs can’t get enough air? I am wondering if this is a normal anxiety/stress response? Thx

Excellent trick to improve anxiety reduction!

So I just watched you yawn and did the diaphramed breathed and now I can't stop yawning. This is normal?
Am I yawning because of you or the exercise?

Just listening to your voice reduces my anxiety😊

I learned this in yoga ,,,, sometimes get so anxious … forget to use this …. thanks for the reminder! ❤️

Works wonders ❤️ thank you

This helped to find an easier way to do this kind of breathing exercise! Thanks for the instruction and the model with the dog. The dog probably had trauma in cars in the past. It's interesting to see the dog go from vomiting uncontrollably to calming in this way. Fantastic example! I look forward to trying diaphragmatic breathing more often! It just clicked for me after trying different methods in the past! Thank you very much! 🐕😉🐦

I was with you until i saw the sweaty pits. That is sympathetic system sweat. Most likely related to anxiety of filming/being on camera. If the techniques aren't working for you........?🤷🏻‍♀️

Why did u exhale before taking the deep breath?

i tried yawning it works.

Slow exhale is key with no sound, breathe in deep as hard and noisy as you want though.

Thanks, Emma!

Who else yawned immediately after she did?

Oh great.

Hey Emma, can doing some of these techniques increase the likelihood of fainting due to vasovagal attacks? I ask because I have never had problems getting blood tested but today I had a major vasovagal attack and nearly lost consciousness while getting blood taken. I was doing diaphragmatic breathing before blood was taken and did not know if it contributed to the vagal nerve malfunction that dropped blood pressure and heart rate. Any thoughts?

Hey this worked wonders for me!And not just that,after few breaths I felt this cooling sensation in my brain which was much needed after months and months brain fog and OCD attacks.

Great info. Thanks.

The fact I am watching this video at 1.75x is just a testament to how much I probably need this

Thank u so much i used to breathe with my chest so it made me feel anxious and i had to take deep breathes to fill my lungs , now by diaphragm breathing i feel better

I’ve been doing this type of breathing for over 47 years when I’m upset. When I had my three sons I used it along with some other breathing. When I had my third son , one nurse commented to the other one about how quiet I was in the delivery room. It’s a wonderful and effective remedy for stress and anxiety!

Good👍

I tried this once and it just caused me one of the most worst pains I've felt in my life throughout the entire upper diaphram.

So im new to the whole anxiety thing and trying to combat it asap...so my problem is that ever since the short breath episodes i think about my breathing wayyy too much like how do i go back to that old me that doesnt have to think about it

Please help me out I sitting on system alomsot 12 hours and I have some belly fat age30 now suddenly one I got breathing problem then offer I started walking that will help little bit free to breath why it is happen any reason

there are many people recomand abdominal breathing, but i am confused, cause nobody explain reasons for me. thanks to the vedio, i Know that it could reduce my anxiety. thank you a lot.

the vedio is helpful for me. Thank u ❤️

What do you think the best self regulation excersisw to do is if I want to do it every 5 minutes to over come DPDR

Thank you so much really appreciate it I have bad anxiety when I go for drives and I used you’re technique while I was stuck in traffic it’s really relaxing. Thank you seriously a lot of people don’t really clarify like you ❤️

For anyone having trouble even beginning …..try breathing out first...completely empty your lungs of Air...then place hands just below ribcage...and...don't think breath...just think release....Wola....you're welcome

I am trying almoust every day to do diaphragmatic breathing and nothing.
Where is the missing key?
Can you please help mi with thet?

Hi! So I’ve decided to start doing diaphragmatic breathing for real for my anxiety but it seems like I get anxious while doing (I’ve tried doing it in the past but I’ve given up because of how it made me feel anxious). I’m now on day 2 of it (I do it for 10 minutes a day) - yesterday a lot of anxious feelings came up but I told myself to just breathe through it and it helped (even though they came up a few times). Today was a little better but I still had anxious moments. Why does this happen?

My biggest trouble with deep breathing is that when I’m stressed out my chest is tight so when I try to slow down or make my breathing deep, I get a sense of suffocation which makes me even more anxious. I don’t know how to remedy this

Thank you so much! Extremely helpful. I had 1 doctor, 1 therapist, and 1 psychiatrist recommend Diaphragmatic Breathing for my stress, anxiety, and chronic pain (including rib pain). Watching your video helped me understand how it could help and why it is beneficial.

I m experiencing the throw up reflex like the dog at moments of stress and also nasty headaches from stress. However it not so clear when or why. Sometimes i do TRE. Just felt like sharing this.
I do like the way you talk and teach. Its reassuring and gives me a sense of control. Thank you!
