The Breathe2Relax application is indicated for veterans who report issues with stress management and a need to learn stress management techniques, to help decrease the impact stress has on their life and over all well-being. Breathe2Relax can be accessed through an iPhone, iPod touch, iPad and/or Android device and can be used as a separate stress management program/tool, or can be used in conjunction with receiving clinical care from a healthcare professional. The skills taught, may be of particular value to veterans who are experiencing post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), providing an easily accessible relief for stress and anxiety. Diaphragmatic breathing, not only decreases the body's stress response (“fight or flight”), but it also helps with mood stabilization, anger and anxiety management. These breathing exercises help to activate the body’s natural relaxation response, which is a physical state of deep rest that changes the physical and emotional responses to stress. This application offers detailed instructions for hands-on diaphragmatic breathing or “belly breathing" exercises.
