The Dark Side with Verity

Why Trauma-Informed Facilitation Is Non-Negotiable


Listen Later

What happens if a client cries, panics, or shuts down during Breathwork? Do you know what to do?

In this episode, Verity breaks down why trauma-informed facilitation is no longer optional in today’s Breathwork world. Using real stories and simple nervous system science, she explains how the body’s neuroception (its built-in radar for safety) decides whether healing can happen or whether a client spirals deeper into overwhelm.

You’ll learn:

  • The hidden risks of guiding sessions without trauma awareness.

  • How to recognise when a client’s nervous system is in fight, flight, or freeze.

  • The difference between a “session guide” and a true facilitator who leads with safety, atunement, and embodied presence.

If you’re serious about creating spaces where transformation lasts, this episode will show you why leadership in Breathwork starts with safety.

At VIDYA, this is exactly what we train facilitators who can hold the deepest spaces with skill, integrity, and confidence.
