Is Breathwork the Answer
to Trauma Healing? Not Always…
Breathwork is often praised as a powerful tool for relaxation and emotional release—but when it comes to trauma healing, breathwork alone is not enough. In some cases, it can even trigger dysregulation, retraumatization, or shutdown rather than promote healing.
If you’ve tried breathwork and felt overwhelmed, dissociated, or like something was missing—you’re not alone. True trauma healing requires a deeper, more integrative approach that works with your nervous system, not against it.
