DEPTH Work: A Holistic Mental Health Podcast

13. Holotropic Breathwork For Emotional Release and Trauma Integration

Listen Later

It's common to utilize breathing techniques to help with anxiety, slow down the mind, or support relaxation, but breathwork can also be incredibly potent for trauma healing. Holotropic Breathwork is an amazing modality that utilizes breath, embodiment, gentle altered states of consciousness, and emotional expression to create the conditions for any deeply embodied pain that we've held in for years or decades to be released and integrated. 

In this episode you'll learn:

  • How holotropic breathwork is specifically useful for trauma processing
  • How trauma holding patterns in the body are linked to breath
  • How breathwork can help us bravely surrender to uncomfortable emotions
  • Who breathwork is not for
  • What breathwork taught me as a personal practice and as a facilitator
