horizontes@pucpr.edu Año LXIV Núm. 124-125 horizontes PRIMAVERA / OTOÑO 2021 PUCPR 52 (2016) interviewed eight clinical psychologists and psychiatrists to formulate a grounded theory. This inductive, qualitative research theory explains results collected through empirical observations and data analysis. Mindfulness allowed a better understanding according to experience, helping the therapist understand his patients. Although Soler and Araya-Véliz obtained good anxiety management results, most researchers recommended additional studies in this area. Conclusion This review article has discussed deep breathing relaxation therapy for anxiety. Deep breathing regulated the cardiovascular system, calmed anxiety symptoms, and helped regulate the participants' performance. Only one study found that deep breathing was not adequate for controlling anxiety during childbirth. Future investigations should study how deep breathing and other relaxation therapies can ameliorate anxiety for different situations.
