What is HRV Biofeedback?
HRV Biofeedback is a technique that utilizes paced, even, and relaxed breathing exercises to regulate the body's stress response, even in situations where a clear threat or immediate danger is not present. By activating the Vagus Nerve, which helps to regulate heart rate, HRV Biofeedback allows us to retrain our biology and effectively manage stress levels. In real-time, this intervention provides physiological information about our body's functioning, enabling us to train and optimize its response. HRV Biofeedback is known to be particularly effective for individuals in high-pressure jobs, those who engage in public speaking or sports, as well as individuals with dysregulated nervous systems due to trauma.
