BEHAVIORAL

Focused breathing

Focused breathing is a series of focused, controlled breaths that aid in relaxation. Each participation in this group will be taught how to do focused breathing by the study investigator. Once determined to be able to perform focused breathing, participants will be asked to practice it for 4 minutes, twice a day, for 6 weeks. If they choose to do so, they may practice focused breathing if they become anxious at other times. They will be asked to keep a diary of each time they practice and/or use focused breathing.
