Stephen Terrell - Healing Developmental Trauma

Here is a breathing exercise you can use to help reduce stress. This is trauma-informed, which means not every stress technique is good for everyone. If this feels good, use it as often as you remember to decrease stress over time. If you're practicing it regularly, you're more likely to remember it when stress is up.
