Breathing Technique for Flight Trauma Response

Overthinking? Restless? Feeling like you just need to do something? That’s flight mode kicking in. When your nervous system is wired and scattered, this breath will bring you back home to yourself. ✨ Inhale deeply while counting 1-2-3-4-5 in your mind. ✨ Exhale slowly, counting 1-2-3-4-5-6-7. ✨ Keep breathing, allowing the exhale to get longer. Extending the exhale tells your body to soften, to stop running, to just be. You don’t have to chase peace—you just have to breathe into it.
