Program Outline SATURDAY
( Part 1: Introduction (1 hour), Program overview: what is CapnoBreath
training? Breathing objectives: physiological,
psychological, and social Breathing mechanics: the role of learning and
experience Breathing chemistry: oxygen transport and
acid-base balance Misconceptions: unraveling facts, opinions,
and fictions Breathing training: pitfalls of mechanics
without chemistry Mindful physiology: learning and motivation in
physiological systems Breathing homeostasis: psychology inside of
physiology Objectives for Part 1 consist of enabling
participants to describe: *basic concepts of mindful physiology applied
to breathing *multiple objectives of breathing from a
behavioral perspective *misconceptions about breathing and breathing
training Part 2: Breathing physiology (2.5 hours), Breathing for oxygen: pulmonary transport
basics Breathing for acid-base regulation: the Carbon dioxide transport: extracellular fluids
and erythrocytes Respiratory regulation: neural and chemical
control mechanisms Renal physiology: the role of CO2 in
bicarbonate regulation Respiratory alkalosis: compensatory mechanisms Hypocapnia: effects on physiology, including
neurophysiology Unexplained symptoms: the acute effects of
hypocapnia Overbreathing: triggering syndromes, symptoms,
and deficits Deregulated acid-base physiology: effects on
emotion, cognition, and performance Objectives for Part 2 consist of enabling
participants to explain: *the relevance and significance of breathing
in acid-base balance *the impact of deregulated breathing chemistry
on symptoms and deficits *the physiological significance of proper CO2
regulation Part 3: Instrumentation and measurement (1 hour), Capnometry: hardware and software Raw waveform: measurement of breathing
patterns Carbon dioxide: ETCO2, alveolar CO2, and PaCO2 Breaths per minute: measurement and
interpretation Breathing heart wave: heart rate variability Electromyography: muscle posturing Displays: evaluating, educating, and training Demonstration: using capnography
instrumentation Objectives for Part 3 consist of enabling
participants to: *describe measurement of PCO2 *understand the limitations of data
interpretation *explain the relevance of related physiology SUNDAY Part 4: Breathing psychology (2.5 hours) Misconceptions about breathing: separating
facts from fiction Etiologies: behaviorally induced hypocapnia State-dependent learning: breathing as a
gateway to coping styles Chronic overbreathing: defensiveness and
safety Information: observations, checklists, and
monitoring Interviewing: phenomenological exploration of
breathing Breathing is a behavior: learning and
behavioral analysis Instrumentation: ÒliveÓ assessment with
capnography Assessment: testing with task, cognitive, and
emotional challenges Intentional overbreathing: physical symptoms,
emotion, recall, and recovery Case histories: the wide-ranging diversity of
etiologies Objectives for Part 4 consist of enabling
participants to: *conduct a basic interview about breathing
behavior *assess simple patterns of deregulated
breathing *perform the basics of live capnography
testing Part 5: Breathing education (2.5 hours) Prophylactic interventions: short-term
solutions Capnography training: basic learning
principles Knowledge-learning: understanding basic
concepts Sign-learning: recognizing symptoms of
overbreathing Mechanics-learning: diaphragmatic, rate, &
depth awareness Visceral-learning: developing an internalized
sense of chemistry State-learning: developing a sense of
chemistry for consciousness Applications: psychotherapy, education,
healthcare, corporate consulting Case histories: a spectrum of solutions Objectives for Part 5 consist of enabling
participants to: *educate clients about breathing chemistry
basics *teach simple breathing mechanics in concert
with chemistry *coach breathing from a phenomenological
perspective |
