Really wish I had been advised on breathing exercises when I had anxiety driven insomnia a few years ago and not just put on quetiapine

Hi Joe! I just wanted to say I have HAD the 6 second in 6 second out breathing therapy for anxiety and panic attacks. My therapist Birgit Schelche, a brilliant woman who helped me so much, called it tactical breathing. It is taught by the military for centering sharp shooters right before the trigger pull. It works immediately after three repatitions for me. It drops my heart rate and the need to panic breathe. Seems too easy but try it the right way and you see immediate resutls in first week. Life changing I also have deviated septum and lung problems. I really need this show! Thanks so much!
