Breathing retraining is commonly used in the treatment of panic disorder. Although several studies suggest that this intervention is effective in reducing panic frequency, concerns have been raised about its routine use. For example, recent research suggests that hyperventilation plays a limited role in producing panic attacks. This suggests that breathing retraining may only be useful for a minority of patients, for whom hyperventilation (or chest breathing) plays a role in producing panic symptoms. A further concern is that breathing retraining may be counterproductive to the extent that it prevents patients from learning that their catastrophic beliefs are unfounded. This article reviews the evidence for the efficacy of breathing retraining and considers the caveats and indications for its use. It is concluded that breathing retraining can play a useful role in the treatment of panic disorder, although clinicians must exercise care to ensure that it is not misused by patients as a source of escaping or avoiding feared sensations. |
