In 2015 – The PTSD Liberation workshop came to life

— or how the Breatheology Method changed Jeff’s life —

In 2015, an article in Mens Journal on the excessive use of drugs by PTSD struck veterans sparked Stig Severinsen mission to find a better way than heavy daily medication to treat people suffering from PTSD.

Same year Stig Severinsen donated a workshop for people with PTSD and Anxiety in California to test his method.

The water-based approach of the Breatheology Method had tremendous impact on the participation in just 3 days.

Listen to Jeff´s experience

Fast forward to 2017

In 2017, Jeff shared his reflection on his progress since the workshop in the Breatheology Student Community:

I’m Jeff and I live in Hawaii.

I attended the first Breatheology PTSD liberation workshop in La Jolla, CA in November of 2015. I am a U.S. Army combat veteran of both Iraq and Afghanistan.

I became a freediving instructor 6 months prior to this event and that is where I first realized that breathing was relaxing and useful in everyday applications, not just diving.

I signed up for Stig’s three day workshop and it changed my life.

I struggled for years with chronic anxiety, depression, flashbacks of traumatic events, memory blocks/loss, sleep problems, etc….(the list goes on). Anyways, after the three day workshop, I was truly able to understand some of the magical benefits of breathing correctly, meditation and mindfulness with the help of Stig’s guidance. I was able to remember childhood memories that were clouded by the PTSD and I was able to have dreams again after just THREE DAYS OF CORRECT BREATHING! (Info: Sometimes the brain will completely block/shut these things off, but there is hope, Just breathe!!).

Since then, I have tried my best to practice techniques as often as possible and live a healthier lifestyle. I am truly thankful for Stig and what he is accomplishing with Breatheology. I have also been able to make myself better, one breath at a time, and complete my BSBA-Management degree with honors! I was also able to find my true passion and am currently enrolled in duel graduate degree programs of MBA & MSW w/ Military and Veteran concentration.

My plan is to help military members & veterans, who struggle much like myself, realize the great potential that breathing, meditation and mindfulness can have on them and not let PTSD/Anxiety/Depression take control and ruin their lives.

I look forward to, once again, learning from Stig and furthering my knowledge and understanding of breathing.

Fast forward to 2019

Breatheology in trauma centers and health care

Breatheology has now been officially approved as a treatment for addiction and PTSD by Tyler’s Residential Addiction Treatment Facility just 2 months after Tyler Huston´s completed his certification as a Breatheology Instructor.

In the following interview, Breatheology Instructor Tyler Huston and the Breatheology Founder Stig Severinsen, discuss how the Breatheology Method has been the key instrument in creating an alternative treatment plan that eschews harmful medication and brings back life in people’s eyes.

The PTSD problem is getting bigger

In my TED Talk summer 2019 (to be released soon) I am focusing on how we need a completely new approach on PTSD treatment since the current “system” with heavy medication is clearly not working.

Over the summer we have produced a dry-land course PTSD Liberation for people suffering for PTSD. This course is built in collaboration with a Breatheology Instructor, a wide network of warfare psychologists, trauma nurses and training experts.

The world need Breatheology Instructors

The dry-land breath-hold / breathing techniques is the safest way for us to deliver a at-home course.

And since the water-based approach is so effective and our PTSD members are asking for this daily, we need instructors like you to offer this service. 

That is why all certified instructors are given access the whole PTSD Liberation Work – The water approach. For safety reason your need to provide an officially approved water rescue certificate to get access. 

That’s the complete sessions of the PTSD Liberation in video for you to implement in your business. And we will market it for on the Breatheology website and members of our PTSD group and send clients your workshop.

SO you dream of owning your own business related to breathwork – or to expanding the minds and health of your clients, students or patients with conscious breathing?

Then explore possibilities that the Breatheology Instructor Certification Program can provide you!
