Depending on how it's done.
Very much depends.
This was definitely like when I would have panic attacks for whatever reason, I would get panic attacks when I was driving a lot, which was just, that's not good.
So I just had to, I pull over and I would do some cyclic breathing, which is actually what it kind of does help.
Usually about a, like a
a one to two ratio of in to out breath, right?
So you inhale for a one count, exhale for a two count or, you know, a three count and a six count, whatever it is.
A one to two ratio though.
And that seems to help.
Just as like a kind of general maintenance thing for anxiety doesn't really, like small, small effect.
It's not necessarily too that that longer exhale is like the key ingredient here.
bringing attention to your internal states a little bit more.
And again, you're confronting them and not trying to avoid them or paper over them.
And I think some types of breath work can help with that.
