We are excited to share that we’re about to begin a research study exploring how breathwork can support individuals living with Somatic Symptom Disorder (SSD). We’re looking for adults (18–65, based in the UK) who may be experiencing ongoing physical symptoms—like fatigue, pain, or shortness of breath—that can’t fully be explained by medical tests, and who would like to take part in a one-month online breathwork program as part of Bal's PhD study. The study includes: - A 10-minute daily guided breathwork audio. - Weekly online group sessions led by a practitioner. - Before and after questionnaires to assess progress. Everything is online, voluntary, and confidential — and participants can join from anywhere in the UK. If you know anyone who might benefit or be interested, we’d be deeply grateful if you could share our flyer in your networks or communities. Every share helps us reach people who could truly benefit from this research. Thank you for helping us bring more understanding, care, and evidence-based awareness to the power of breathwork. With gratitude, Bal & @Dr. Samir Mujagic | Soma+IQ

📝 Share Your #1 Take-Away Below! If you consider yourself an empath and spend a lot of time around a dysregulated person, you might start feeling like their stress is your own. Many connect over their stressors or traumas, discussing the latest distressing news as a way to bond. But this is co-dysregulation. As a practitioner of this work, co-regulation is foundational and is one of the most crucial topics and skill sets for humans to learn is co-regulation. Co-regulation is all about how your electrical bubble, your nervous system, interacts with another's nervous system. When we spend time with someone with a regulated nervous system, we start to co-regulate with them, finding balance without saying a word. Conversely, if someone's dysregulated and we spend time with them, we might start to feel dysregulated ourselves. We discuss this in this video.

I met a psychiatrist that was interested in breathwork for an autistic teen. Has anyone done this? I’m familiar w working with autistic people due to mneme therapy certification but looking for some feedback on IRL experiences

Looking forward to learning breathwork that really makes a difference
