A 3 Part Breathing Exercise for Grounding Into the Present with Dr. Kate Truitt

In this video, Dr. Kate Truitt guides us through a breathing exercise which can help us to reconnect to our breath, particularly after we’ve experienced a traumatic event. To begin, Dr. Kate invites us to rest our palm on our chest while we inhale and exhale to our own cadence. She suggests that we keep our palm on our chest throughout the exercise, or that we transition to palm havening.
Next, Dr. Kate walks us through what a 3-part breath entails. The first element is a soothing inhale, followed by three releases of that breath. She walks us through this cycle multiple times and then explains that this simple exercise can oxygenate our brain and our body, which can help ground us into the present when we are feeling stressed or reactive.

Last week I started watching your videos - thank you algorithm - and you, your voice, and your lovely calm demeanor have been so wonderfully helpful during this very big/scary/uncertain time in my family's life. You are so kind and your voice is perfect for helping to relax. I've shared a few videos with my sister as we trudge through the unknown. Thank you so much and all the best to you! :)

[@DrKateTruitt]

I’ve been disassociating non stop for about 8 months now, and just found this video and other grounding techniques. Hoping with this along with some treatment I can get back to normal and being in the present again! This was triggered by a bad marijuana experience.

I'm genuinely sorry to hear about what you're going through. Grounding techniques, along with other healing modalities can be powerful tools in reconnecting with the present moment. Sending you much strength, warmth and healing ❤️❤️‍🩹❤️

I was blessed enough to see a tik tok you did. This was less than 2hrs ago. I watched your training video 1:20:40 minutes. I'm floored! I've told myself and other's, "I will demolish BPD, it will not take anymore from me. I will prove it's not a death sentence". You've reaffirmed my spirit that, I can (it wasn't just the narcissistic bpd bitch). Lol. As I continue this journey, I will share these techniques and your information to everyone. Thank you for helping us all! I'm so excited about this new tool💗

[@DrKateTruitt]

You’re so very welcome. You’re definitely not alone. Sending you so much warmth and healing 🥰
