Not Another Breathing Exercise: Engaging Clients in Breathwork
1 NBCC CE Credit
Breathwork is more than just a wellness trend—it’s a transformative practice rooted in ancient traditions and supported by modern science. This course, Not Another Breathing Exercise: Engaging Clients in Breathwork, is specifically designed for mental health counselors who want to integrate breathwork into their clinical practice in a thoughtful, creative, and client-centered way.
Inspired by hearing many clients report negative experiences with breathwork or express reluctance to try it, and observing how often adults default to simply telling others to "take a deep breath," this course challenges participants to think beyond the basics. It provides innovative strategies for introducing and teaching breathwork as a skill that is accessible, engaging, and tailored to each client’s unique needs.
Why Take This Course?
This course is designed to help mental health counselors rethink how they introduce and teach breathwork to clients. By combining evidence-based practices with creative, client-centered approaches, participants will leave with the tools and confidence to make breathwork a meaningful and effective part of their clinical practice. Whether working with clients who are skeptical, resistant, or new to breathwork, this course provides strategies to meet them where they are and help them build a positive relationship with their breath.
