The goal of this single-site, single-arm pilot study is to examine the impact of breathwork training for posttraumatic stress symptoms in an adult veteran population. Participants will complete a single, in-person breathwork session (2 hours) led by a certified breathwork facilitator and engage in an integration session (30 minute) with a licensed psychologist. Participants will be invited to engage in two, optional, virtual follow up breathwork sessions (40 minute practice each) during weeks 2 and 3 following the in-person breathwork session.
