Breathe : the 4-week breathing retraining plan to relieve stress, anxiety and panic / Mary Birch.

Birch, Mary, (author.).

Summary:

Breathing comes naturally to everyone right? No: not right. Thanks to a range of life, work and environment factors, many of us don't breathe properly and it is having a major impact on our health and wellbeing. Your breathing affects your health, and it is also affected by what's going on in your life. Regardless of the cause, improving your breathing can bring relief, sometimes even within days. This is especially true for those living with stress, anxiety and panic, as incorrect breathing can cause and contribute to these disorders. This practical book by registered nurse and breathing retraining expert Mary Birch contains a week-by-week, step-by step-program to retrain the breathing pattern, as well as guidelines on lifestyle, exercise, food and nutrition. It also contains stories of people who have positively transformed their lives by learning to breathe properly.
