What is Breathwork Therapy?
Benefits of Breathwork Therapy in Mental Health and Substance Use Recovery
As with any new practice, you should start slowly with breathwork. Our therapists will work with you to ensure you are adopting this practice in a healthy, productive manner. They usually start by helping clients become aware of their breathing throughout the day, switching to nose breathing a majority of the time and then trying slower paced practices. Here are the benefits you can hopefully see in time:
- Emotional release. Breathwork allows you to process and release suppressed emotions, which are often underlying factors in addiction or mental health disorders. By confronting your emotions, you can achieve emotional clarity and healing.
- Stress reduction. Stress is a common trigger for relapse, which is why it’s important to have it under control. Breathing exercises have been shown to reduce stress and anxiety, promote relaxation and serve as healthier ways to cope.
Enhanced self-awareness. Another thing that breathwork helps with is encouraging introspection and self-reflection. This will help you gain insight into your thoughts, behaviors and patterns, which is crucial for sustained recovery. - Improved physical health. Breathwork can enhance lung capacity, improve circulation and boost overall physical health. As the body heals, individuals often experience increased energy and vitality.
- Spiritual connection. A comprehensive treatment program addresses the mind, body and spirit. Many people who practice breathwork report a heightened sense of spiritual connection and purpose through breathwork. This spiritual growth can be a powerful motivator in maintaining your recovery.
