Some sessions are not about insight.

They’re about helping a client slow down enough to feel safe, present, and in control again.

These Breathing Exercise Cards give you simple, structured techniques you can use in session or assign between sessions when clients need practical regulation tools.

🔹 WHAT THIS HELPS WITH

Use these when a client is:

👉 anxious or panicky
👉 emotionally flooded
👉 disconnected from their body
👉 struggling to self-soothe between sessions
👉 needing concrete coping skills instead of more discussion

🔹 WHY THERAPISTS USE THESE

Instead of trying to explain grounding techniques on the spot, you have ready-to-use exercises clients can follow immediately.

Helpful within CBT, DBT, EMDR, somatic, mindfulness, and trauma-informed work.
