Great article, Dr. McBride. I was first introduced to 4-7-8 breathing by my therapist over 10 years ago and I integrated it into my daily life. It is one of my top tools for re-setting myself during the week. Now, as a psychologist-in-training, it's really neat to see how mindfulness and breathwork has mainstreamed in many CBT techniques, including CF-ACT (compassion focused acceptance and commitment therapy).

Thank you Dr. McBride, I learned about this technique a few months ago and it has helped me a lot; as an older person who has to get up to use the bathroom pretty much every night, I can tell you it works and can also lead to some really weird dreams!
