Have you ever noticed that how you breathe can change how you feel? For example, when you’re stressed, your breathing speeds up or gets shallower. You might think that slowing down and taking deep breaths will help you relax. But while deep breathing might help in theory, it often doesn’t work in practice.
Why breathing exercises can backfire
Focusing on breathing is simple but not easy. It is also hard to tell if you’re doing it right. And when you’re already stressed, it can feel impossible.
Deep breathing may even worsen your body’s “fight or flight” response. It can lead to over-breathing or breathing in more air than you need. This causes a buildup of carbon dioxide, which triggers panic attacks in some people.
How Freespira is different
Unlike breathing exercises or apps, Freespira is an FDA-cleared treatment. It’s been shown to reduce or stop panic attacks and trauma symptoms.
Real-time feedback
With Freespira, there’s no guessing if you’re “doing it right.” Freespira includes a sensor that measures the pace and amount of air you breathe and guides you toward a new breathing pattern. With regular practice, healthy breathing becomes natural.
1:1 coaching
Weekly meetings with a dedicated coach ensure you have the support you need to succeed.
Clearly defined plan
Unlike some treatments, which can last months or years, Freespira takes just 28 days. After that, there’s no need to use the device. When you face stressful situations, your new breathing pattern becomes natural.
“I notice that my body lapses into the breathing style before I even notice that something is off or up. For example, I saw lightning out the window in bed last night, and my body’s first response was Freespira breathing.”
