Abstract
Soothing-rhythm breathing (SRB) is a core component of compassion focused therapy (CFT). While integral to CFT, research has yet to explore personal experiences of SRB. This study aimed to explore the experiences of individuals with depression who had practiced SRB in NHS primary care services. Interpretative phenomenological analysis (IPA) was used to analyse data from individual semi-structured interviews. Three experiential themes were identified: ‘mind-body connection and bodily needs’, ‘a new relationship with the mind’, and ‘slowing down: shifting to the new and challenging’. Results highlighted the benefits of connecting with the body and the challenges of practicing SRB. Clinical implications and suggestions for further research are discussed.
