FAQ
Short, practical answers for real-life breath moments.
Is this medical advice?
No. One Primal Breath is educational and does not replace medical care. If symptoms are severe or worsening, seek professional help.
Why emphasize the exhale?
In urgent moments, focusing on a controlled exhale can reduce escalation and restore rhythm. Many people find it steadies panic and decreases “gasping.”
Will this cure COPD or chronic breath conditions?
No. This is not a cure claim. The purpose is response control—reducing spirals, improving calm rhythm, and supporting agency during episodes.
What if focusing on breathing makes me more anxious?
That’s common. Start with the smallest dose: one slow exhale. Keep attention on posture, shoulders, or a point in the room while maintaining gentle cadence.
Can caregivers use this to help someone else?
Yes—caregivers can reinforce the cadence, reduce urgency in language, and help the person feel safe and oriented. Resources will expand with caregiver quick-cards.
