If your breathworker says "trauma is stored in the body" and breathwork can help you release it... it is a red flag
Hello, my fellow lovers of breath! I just got back from leading the summer Language of Breath Certification cohort, and one of the most misunderstood concepts that came up in this cohort was concerning trauma, breathwork;s role in helping people who suffer from trauma, and basically what it is. Many people come to our certification after being certified in other modalities that have a lot of vibes but not a lot of value when it comes to what is really happening in a breathwork session, what actually moves the needle the most, and how to facilitate breathwork ethically.
I recently an article on substack breaking this down as simply and concisely as I could. I hope it is helpful to you:
