“I ran into a person that has triggered my PTSD in the past, which always sent me into a tail-spin. When I unexpectedly saw that person, I was able to remove myself, calm myself down and be okay in the situation."

HOW DOES IT WORK?
Retrain your breathing patterns with Freespira
You complete two 17-minute sessions a day for 28 days. During each session, a sensor samples your breathing and provides real-time feedback. It takes just one month to transform your breathing patterns, significantly reducing panic attacks and PTSD symptoms.
COVERAGE AND REIMBURSEMENT
How much does it cost?
Many people, including veterans with VA benefits, can get Freespira through their health insurance or employer. Others view the one-time investment as a cost-effective alternative to ongoing copays without real relief. Talk to one of our expert reimbursement advisors for a quick look at your coverage options.
“Going home usually fills me with anxiety, and I really notice my PTSD symptoms. This time, I felt okay going home and I was even using my breathing with the tones in my head before bed to help me relax and fall asleep. That was a really big deal to me."
