Crisis Intervention-Breathing Technique Story Board
Montāžas Teksta
- Hey, Good to see people here! Gotta say, I need a break, kinda overwhelmed
- Yes, and honestly, I'm pretty worried about whether I can get everything done the way I expect.
- I feel the same way, like my brain just can't settle down, my hearts racing, and I'm easily confused!
- There is so much to do! It's coming from all directions!
- I was just thinking the same thing! In Crisis Intervention class I learned this technique for calming my brain. Wanna try it?
- It's like my flight, fight freeze switch is activated
- Yes!
- I'm willing to try!
- Take a deep breathe in, and slowly blow out-lips pursed together- like you're breathing through a straw. almost like a whistle
- whoooosh
- whoooosh
- whooooosh
- That might be the first full breathe exhale I've had all week?!
- I think I feel a little bit better, less jittery
- I feel a little more calm too.
- Why does this work?
- Having a longer breathe out tells the reactive part of the brain we are ok, and moves us out of flight, fight freeze mode
- I've always heard people say "take a deep breathe" but I've never thought about how it was a feedback mechanism to my brain!
