This is a technique that aims to improve health and well-being by controlling breathing. This method was developed by Russian physician Konstantin Buteyko and is particularly effective in treating asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and other breathing problems.

The basic principles of Dr. Buteyko’s breathing method training:

  • Nasal breathing
  • Reduction of breathing depth
  • Control of respiratory pauses
  • Breathing exercises
  • Avoiding increased ventilation during exercise
  • Increasing Carbon Dioxide Tolerance
  • Regularity
  • Breathing awareness

The Buteyko Method can provide relief from many respiratory health problems, but its effectiveness depends on the regularity of the exercises and the patient’s commitment. It is worth doing the training under the supervision of a qualified instructor to ensure that it is done correctly.

This is a relaxation technique that helps to achieve a state of deep relaxation by focusing on your body and using autosuggestion. This method is based on inducing a feeling of heaviness and warmth in different parts of the body, which leads to calming the mind and body.

Basic principles of autogenic training:

  • Body relaxation: We focus on the feeling of heaviness in the limbs, which helps to relax the muscles.
  • Feeling of warmth: Then we focus on inducing a feeling of warmth in different parts of the body, which helps to dilate blood vessels and improve circulation.
  • Breathing regulation: We pay attention to calm, regular breathing, which supports the relaxation process.
  • Calm heart: We focus on calming the heart, inducing a feeling of a regular, calm beat.
  • Cool forehead: Concentrating on the feeling of pleasant coolness on the forehead helps to calm the mind.
Autogenic training can be practiced alone in a quiet place, and regular exercise helps reduce stress, improve well-being and better cope with mental and physical stress.

Rational Behavior Therapy (RBT) is a form of cognitive behavioral therapy developed by Maxie C. Maultsby. RBT focuses on how thoughts influence emotions and behaviours, and its primary goal is to teach patients how to replace irrational beliefs with rational thoughts, which is supposed to lead to healthier emotions and more adaptive behaviours.

The basic principles of RBT:

  • Irrational thinking causes emotional problems
  • Change in thinking leads to changing emotions and behaviours
  • Key questions to help evaluate thoughts
  • Learning to work through thoughts on your own
  • Practice and repetition
  • Focusing on the present and future
  • Learning realistic optimism
The goal of RBT is not only to eliminate negative thoughts, but also to introduce a realistically optimistic approach. This means that patients learn to see the world in a balanced way – realistically, but at the same time with hope for positive results.

Solution-Focused Therapy (SFBT) is a short-term, future-oriented method of psychotherapy that aims to help the client find solutions rather than focus on problems. It was developed in the 1980s by Steve de Shazer and Insoo Kim Berg.

The main principles of SFBT are:

  • Focus on goals: the therapist helps the client define what they want to achieve, rather than analysing past problems.
  • Use of resources: SFBT assumes that every person has the resources and skills to solve their problems, and the therapist helps to find them.
  • Small steps: even small changes are considered important and can lead to greater progress.
  • Constructive questions: the therapist uses questions that aim to identify exceptions to the problem, that is, times when the client coped better.
  • Short-term: SFBT is usually short-term, with an emphasis on quick results and ending the therapy when the goals have been achieved.
This therapy is especially helpful for people who want to focus on specific, practical solutions rather than long-term analysis of the past.
