Breathwork is fast becoming a tool psychologists are being asked about but few of us were trained in how to use it safely, ethically, or effectively. This session closes that gap. In just one hour, you'll walk away with a clear framework for client screening, scope of practice and referral pathways, real clinical case reflection you can apply directly to your caseload, and an honest look at where breathwork sits alongside (and apart from) psychedelic-assisted therapy, straight from practitioners who've spent years in both spaces.
