Coping Skills for Adults: Deep Breathing Strategies

CALM AND CONNECTED - EPISODE 111

It’s been a while since I recorded a solo episode so here goes! During my mini break I was thinking; what can I do to support educators, counselors, families and parents with my podcast? And from that I felt inspired to do a mini series on coping skills for adults! I thought it’s a good time of year to start this series with a new school year approaching. It’s such a stressful and overwhelming time and I want to help you with it. 

The topics I cover in this episode are:

  • flight, fight or freeze mode and the connection to breathing

  • how deep breathing can help you focus

  • two strategies that you can use

  • where I've seen deep breathing used recently on tv
