Coping Skills for Overwhelm — Somatic & Breathwork Techniques

Feeling overwhelmed can make even the smallest tasks feel impossible. When stress, anxiety, or trauma responses take over, the body often reacts with racing thoughts, a pounding heart, muscle tension, or a sense of not being able to cope. This service is designed to help you calm your nervous system and find relief through practical, body-based techniques like breathwork and somatic awareness. Together, we’ll create space for you to feel grounded, more present, and in control.

Who this service is for
This service is especially supportive for:
- Adults navigating high stress, burnout, or emotional overwhelm
- Veterans or service members adjusting to civilian life
- People living with PTSD, anxiety, or panic symptoms
- Individuals experiencing nervous system dysregulation (fight, flight, freeze, or fawn responses)
- Those in life transitions such as career changes, caregiving, or perimenopause
- Anyone struggling with sleep issues, irritability, or difficulty focusing due to stress

Who will benefit
You may benefit from this service if you are experiencing:
- Racing thoughts, panic attacks, or difficulty calming down

- Emotional reactivity such as irritability, mood swings, or feeling “on edge”
- Cognitive challenges including brain fog, poor concentration, or decision fatigue
