David Owe: "Jeg udsætter mig for noget ubehageligt hver dag"

David Owe: "I expose myself to something uncomfortable every day"

Man In The Shirt

 

It wasn't in a lecture hall that David Owe gained his most important insight into resilience – it was in ice water. As a participant in the TV program Korpset, he lost control of his breathing during cold exposure, and the experience triggered something.

Based on his own and his clients' experiences, he concluded that breath training is the strongest weapon against stress and anxiety he has ever encountered. Behind this conclusion are years as a clinical psychologist working closely with psychologists and psychiatrists, and since then, a new direction where breathing protocols have become the central tool for building resilience against stress. It's a combination of two educational worlds.

In this Man in the Shirt episode, Owe provides insight into why we've done ourselves a disservice by avoiding discomfort, why a large part of us suffer from stress and anxiety and breathe too quickly and too often through the mouth, and which specific techniques can change that.
