Is breathwork for trauma release safe?

Breathwork for trauma release is generally safe when practiced with proper guidance and gradual progression. However, intense breathing techniques can sometimes trigger overwhelming emotional responses or dissociation. Start with gentle techniques like diaphragmatic breathing before advancing to more activating practices. People with PTSD, panic disorder, cardiovascular conditions, or a history of psychosis should work with a trained practitioner.

What types of breathwork are best for trauma?

The most effective breathwork types for trauma include: somatic breath awareness for building body connection, extended exhale breathing for nervous system calming, connected (circular) breathing for emotional processing, box breathing for stabilization, and polyvagal-informed breath practices for vagus nerve activation. The best approach depends on your trauma history, current nervous system state, and comfort level with body sensations.

How long does it take for breathwork to help with trauma?

Many people notice nervous system calming within a single session. Consistent daily practice of 10-20 minutes typically produces noticeable shifts in stress reactivity within 2-4 weeks. Deeper trauma patterns may require 3-6 months of regular breathwork combined with other therapeutic approaches. The timeline varies based on trauma type, severity, and whether you are working with a trained practitioner.

Can breathwork replace therapy for trauma?

Breathwork is a powerful complement to therapy but typically should not replace professional trauma treatment entirely. It works best as part of an integrated approach that includes therapy (such as EMDR, somatic experiencing, or trauma-focused CBT), community support, and other healing modalities. For complex or developmental trauma, professional guidance ensures safety and helps process material that surfaces during practice.

What does trauma release feel like during breathwork?

Trauma release during breathwork can manifest as involuntary muscle trembling or shaking, waves of heat or cold moving through the body, spontaneous emotional expression (tears, laughter, or vocal release), tingling or buzzing sensations, yawning or sighing, changes in breathing rhythm, or a sudden sense of relief and lightness. These responses are normal and indicate the nervous system is discharging stored stress energy.

How often should I practice breathwork for trauma healing?

For trauma healing, practice gentle regulatory breathwork (like extended exhale or diaphragmatic breathing) daily for 10-20 minutes. More activating practices like connected breathing should be limited to 1-2 times per week with adequate integration time between sessions. Allow rest days to process and integrate what surfaces. Consistency matters more than intensity for sustainable trauma healing.

What is the connection between the vagus nerve and trauma release?

The vagus nerve is the primary pathway between the brain and body for regulating stress responses. Trauma can cause vagal tone to decrease, keeping the nervous system stuck in survival mode. Specific breathing techniques stimulate the vagus nerve, improving vagal tone and helping the body return to a regulated state. Extended exhale breathing, humming, and slow diaphragmatic breathing are especially effective for vagal activation.

Can breathwork help with childhood trauma?

Yes, breathwork can be especially helpful for childhood (developmental) trauma because these early experiences are often stored as body sensations and nervous system patterns rather than explicit memories. Breathwork accesses these pre-verbal, body-based imprints directly. However, childhood trauma work should always include professional therapeutic support, as it can surface intense material that benefits from guided processing.

Breathwork for Trauma Release: Somatic Breathing Techniques

Q: What is breathwork for trauma release?

Breathwork for trauma release is a body-based healing approach that uses specific breathing patterns to access and discharge stored trauma from the nervous system. Unlike talk therapy alone, it works directly with the body's stress response, helping to complete fight-or-flight cycles that became frozen during traumatic experiences. Techniques include connected breathing, somatic breath awareness, and polyvagal-informed practices.

Q: How does breathwork help release stored trauma?

Breathwork helps release stored trauma by directly accessing the autonomic nervous system through the breath. Specific breathing patterns activate the vagus nerve, shift the body from sympathetic (fight-or-flight) to parasympathetic (rest-and-digest) states, and allow incomplete stress responses to complete naturally. This process can produce physical releases like trembling, temperature changes, or emotional expression as the body discharges held tension.

Trauma lives in the body. Long after the mind has processed a difficult event, the nervous system can remain locked in patterns of hypervigilance, numbness, or reactivity. Traditional talk therapy addresses the cognitive layer of trauma, but the body holds its own memory. Breathwork for trauma release offers a direct pathway into these stored patterns, using the breath as a bridge between conscious awareness and the autonomic nervous system. This guide covers the science, the techniques, and the practical steps for using somatic breathing to support genuine healing.

Understanding Trauma and the Body

Trauma is not simply a painful memory. According to Dr. Bessel van der Kolk, author of "The Body Keeps the Score," trauma fundamentally alters how the body and brain process information. When a threatening event overwhelms your capacity to cope, the nervous system activates survival responses: fight, flight, or freeze. If these responses cannot complete naturally, the activation energy becomes trapped in the body.

This incomplete stress cycle creates lasting physiological changes. The amygdala becomes hyperactive, scanning for danger. Cortisol and adrenaline levels stay elevated. Muscles tighten in chronic holding patterns, particularly in the jaw, shoulders, diaphragm, and hip flexors. The vagus nerve loses tone, becoming less effective at returning the body to calm.

These changes explain why trauma survivors experience physical symptoms alongside emotional ones: chronic pain, digestive issues, shallow breathing, and a persistent sense that the body is not safe. Traditional cognitive approaches work with the narrative layer of trauma, but often cannot reach body-level patterns driving daily distress. This is where somatic approaches, including breathwork, become valuable.

The breath is unique among bodily functions because it operates both automatically and under voluntary control. This dual nature makes it a direct bridge between the conscious mind and the autonomic nervous system. By intentionally changing your breathing pattern, you can shift the nervous system's state and begin to release stored survival energy.

The Science of Breathwork for Trauma Release

Research into breathwork for trauma has expanded over the past decade. Multiple studies support what somatic practitioners have observed clinically: controlled breathing practices measurably reduce trauma symptoms and improve nervous system regulation.

A 2014 study in the Journal of Traumatic Stress found that a yoga-based breathing program significantly reduced PTSD symptoms in military veterans who had not responded to other treatments. Participants showed decreases in hyperarousal, intrusive thoughts, and avoidance behaviors after just eight sessions.

The biological mechanisms are well documented. Slow, deep breathing activates baroreceptors in the cardiovascular system, signaling the brain to reduce sympathetic activity. Extended exhale patterns specifically stimulate the vagus nerve, which carries calming signals from the brain to the heart, lungs, and digestive organs.

Biological Mechanism	Effect on Body	Relevance to Trauma
Vagus nerve stimulation	Reduces heart rate, lowers blood pressure	Counters chronic hyperarousal state
Parasympathetic activation	Shifts from fight-or-flight to rest-and-digest	Restores nervous system balance
Cortisol reduction	Lowers stress hormone levels	Addresses chronic stress activation
GABA increase	Elevates calming neurotransmitter	Reduces anxiety and hypervigilance
Interoceptive awareness	Improves body sensation perception	Reconnects mind-body communication
Amygdala downregulation	Reduces fear center reactivity	Decreases threat perception sensitivity

A 2020 study in the International Journal of Yoga Therapy demonstrated that slow breathing at approximately 5.5 breaths per minute optimally stimulates baroreflex and vagal tone. This rate creates resonance between heart rate, blood pressure, and respiration that maximizes nervous system coherence, directly countering the dysregulation of post-traumatic states.

Research from Dr. Stephen Porges shows that slow vocalizations during exhale, including humming and sighing, further enhance vagal stimulation. The combination of slow exhalation and vocalization sends potent safety signals to the nervous system.

Polyvagal Theory and Breathing

Polyvagal Theory, developed by Dr. Stephen Porges, describes three states of the autonomic nervous system, each linked to specific physiological patterns and breath characteristics.

The Three Autonomic States

Ventral Vagal (Safety): Breathing is slow, deep, and rhythmic. The diaphragm moves freely. Exhales are naturally longer than inhales. You feel present, connected, and able to engage socially.

Sympathetic (Mobilization): Breathing becomes rapid, shallow, and chest-centered. The diaphragm tightens. Heart rate increases. You feel anxious, restless, or angry. This is the fight-or-flight state.

Dorsal Vagal (Immobilization): Breathing becomes very shallow or intermittent. You may feel frozen, numb, disconnected, or exhausted. This is the collapse or shutdown state, common in overwhelming trauma.

Trauma often causes people to oscillate between sympathetic activation (anxiety, hypervigilance, rage) and dorsal vagal shutdown (numbness, dissociation, depression). The goal of trauma-informed breathwork is to expand your capacity to inhabit the ventral vagal state of safety.

Calming practices (extended exhale, slow diaphragmatic breathing) help people stuck in sympathetic activation move toward safety. Activating practices (faster rhythmic breathing) can help those stuck in dorsal vagal shutdown reconnect with healthy mobilization energy. Matching the technique to your current state is essential.

The "window of tolerance" (Dr. Dan Siegel) describes the range of arousal within which you can process experiences effectively. Trauma narrows this window. Breathwork gradually widens it, increasing your capacity to stay present with challenging sensations without becoming overwhelmed.

Core Somatic Breathing Techniques

Somatic breathing techniques prioritize body awareness and nervous system regulation over achieving altered states. The goal is to gradually restore the body's natural capacity for self-regulation, not to produce dramatic experiences.

Orienting Breath

Sit comfortably and take slow, natural breaths. On each exhale, turn your head slowly to look at something in your environment, noticing its color, texture, and form. This practice engages the social nervous system (ventral vagal) while keeping you connected to the present moment. Practice for 3-5 minutes as a warm-up.

Grounding Breath with Body Contact

Place both hands on your belly. As you breathe in, feel your belly press gently against your hands. As you breathe out, feel the belly soften. The physical contact provides a grounding anchor, giving the nervous system concrete sensory information about the present moment.

Coherence Breathing

Breathe at approximately 5-6 breaths per minute with equal inhale and exhale lengths (5 counts in, 5 counts out). This creates heart-respiratory coherence, where heart rate variability, blood pressure oscillations, and respiratory rhythm synchronize. Research shows this state optimally activates the vagus nerve. Practice for 10-20 minutes.

Practice: 4-7-8 Calming Breath

This technique, popularized by Dr. Andrew Weil, is especially effective for hyperaroused states and difficulty sleeping.

Exhale completely through your mouth with a gentle whoosh sound.
Close your mouth and inhale quietly through your nose for 4 counts.
Hold your breath for 7 counts. (If holding feels uncomfortable, reduce to 4-5 counts.)
Exhale completely through your mouth for 8 counts.
This completes one cycle. Practice 4 cycles total, twice daily.

Note: The 2:1 exhale-to-inhale ratio is the active ingredient. The long exhale stimulates the vagus nerve powerfully. If the specific counts feel too long, maintain the ratio at shorter durations (for example, 3 in, 5 hold, 6 out).

Diaphragmatic Breathing for Safety Signals

The diaphragm is both a breathing muscle and a trauma sensor. When the nervous system perceives threat, the diaphragm tightens and breathing shifts to the upper chest. This shallow pattern reinforces the stress response: the brain interprets chest breathing as confirmation of danger.

Restoring full diaphragmatic movement is often the first step in breathwork trauma release. When the diaphragm moves freely, it massages the vagus nerve (which passes through the diaphragm), stimulates the solar plexus network, and sends safety signals to the brain.

Many trauma survivors have spent years breathing shallowly without realizing it. Returning to diaphragmatic breathing can initially feel uncomfortable, and it is important to approach this transition gradually.

Progressive Diaphragm Release

Lie on your back with knees bent and feet flat on the floor. Place a light book on your belly. Breathe naturally and observe its movement. Without forcing, encourage the object to rise slightly on each inhale. Start with 2-3 minutes and extend to 10-15 minutes over several weeks. If lying down triggers discomfort, practice seated instead.

As diaphragmatic breathing becomes more natural, you may notice increased body awareness, emotional fluctuations, or subtle releases (gurgling, yawning, sighing). These responses indicate the nervous system is shifting toward greater flexibility.

Breathing Pattern	Nervous System Effect	Best For	Duration
Diaphragmatic (belly breathing)	Parasympathetic activation	Foundation practice, daily use	10-20 min
Extended exhale (4-8 ratio)	Strong vagal stimulation	Hyperarousal, anxiety, insomnia	5-15 min
Coherence (equal in/out)	Heart-brain synchronization	Emotional regulation, balance	10-20 min
Connected (circular) breathing	Sympathetic activation, then release	Emotional processing, release	15-30 min
Box breathing (4-4-4-4)	Nervous system stabilization	Acute stress, grounding	3-10 min
Humming bee breath	Vagal tone through vibration	Anxiety, racing thoughts	5-10 min

Extended Exhale and Vagus Nerve Activation

The extended exhale is the single most important breath technique for trauma recovery. The vagus nerve is primarily stimulated during exhalation, so extending your exhale increases vagal stimulation with each breath cycle.

The vagus nerve acts as the body's brake pedal on the stress response. In trauma, this brake becomes weak. You might notice it takes a long time to calm down after being startled, or that you struggle to shift from anxiety to calm. These are signs of reduced vagal tone.

Extended exhale breathing rebuilds vagal tone gradually. With consistent practice, the vagus nerve becomes more responsive and the body spends more time in regulated states.

Progressive Extended Exhale Protocol

Week 1-2: Practice a 4-count inhale with a 6-count exhale. This gentle 2:3 ratio introduces the nervous system to extended exhalation without creating strain. Practice for 5-10 minutes daily.

Week 3-4: Shift to a 4-count inhale with a 7-count exhale. Add a brief natural pause (1-2 seconds) at the bottom of the exhale before beginning the next inhale. Practice for 10-15 minutes daily.

Week 5-6: Progress to a 4-count inhale with an 8-count exhale. You may add a gentle humming sound during the exhale for additional vagal stimulation. The vibration of humming stimulates the vagus nerve through the laryngeal branch. Practice for 15-20 minutes daily.

Week 7 onward: Experiment with finding your personal optimal ratio. Some people benefit from longer exhales (4:10 or even 4:12), while others find that moderate ratios (4:7 or 4:8) work best. Listen to your body. The exhale should feel complete and satisfying, not strained.

Measuring Your Progress

Heart rate variability (HRV) is the most reliable biomarker for vagal tone improvement. As your breathwork practice strengthens vagal function, your HRV will increase over time. Many wearable devices now track HRV. A rising HRV trend over weeks and months confirms that your extended exhale practice is producing measurable nervous system changes. Even without technology, you can track improvements by noticing how quickly you calm down after stress, how deeply you sleep, and how present you feel during daily activities.

Connected Breathing for Emotional Release

Connected breathing (also called circular breathing) is a more activating technique used for processing and releasing stored emotional material. It temporarily increases sympathetic activation to help complete frozen stress responses.

You breathe continuously without pause between inhale and exhale. The inhale is active and full (usually through the mouth), the exhale relaxed and passive. This continuous rhythm gradually builds energy in the body, accessing material stored below conscious awareness.

This approach draws from Holotropic Breathwork (Dr. Stanislav Grof), Rebirthing, and contemporary trauma-informed adaptations. While traditional forms involve extended sessions (60-90 minutes), trauma-informed practice uses shorter durations with careful titration.

Trauma-Informed Connected Breathing Protocol

Begin with 5-10 minutes of calming breath to establish a regulated baseline. Then transition to connected breathing for 10-15 minutes, breathing continuously through the mouth with a full inhale and relaxed exhale. Keep your awareness in your body rather than in thoughts.

As activation builds, you may notice tingling, emotional waves, heat or cold, or the urge to move. Allow these sensations without suppressing them. If anything feels too intense, slow down and return to nose breathing with extended exhale.

After the connected breathing phase, lie still for 10-15 minutes with natural breathing. This integration period is when much of the processing occurs. Do not skip it.

Important Safety Note for Connected Breathing

Connected breathing is a more intense practice that can surface powerful emotional and physical responses. For trauma healing specifically:

Do not practice alone during your first several sessions. Work with a trained facilitator.
Build a foundation of 4-6 weeks of calming breathwork before attempting connected breathing.
Always begin and end with regulatory (calming) breath techniques.
Have a grounding plan ready (holding an ice cube, stomping feet, naming objects in the room).
Stop immediately if you experience dissociation, depersonalization, or panic.
Allow at least 48 hours between connected breathing sessions for integration.

Building a Trauma-Informed Breathwork Practice

A trauma-informed approach prioritizes safety and self-regulation over dramatic experiences, recognizes that more is not always better, and respects the body's pace of healing.

The principle of titration (from somatic experiencing therapy) is central: working with small, manageable doses of activation rather than flooding the system. This means starting with gentle techniques, shorter durations, and building gradually.

Recommended Weekly Schedule

Daily (Morning): 10-15 minutes of diaphragmatic breathing or coherence breathing. This builds your regulatory foundation and starts each day from a grounded place.

Daily (Evening): 5-10 minutes of extended exhale breathing before sleep. This supports nervous system downregulation and improves sleep quality, which is often disrupted by trauma.

2-3 Times Weekly: 20-minute sessions of focused somatic breath awareness, scanning the body for held tension and directing breath to areas of tightness. These sessions build body awareness and gradually release chronic holding patterns.

Weekly (With Support): One 30-45 minute session of more activating breathwork (such as connected breathing), ideally with a practitioner or experienced group. These sessions address deeper layers of stored trauma material.

Integration Principle

Healing from trauma is not a linear process. Some days your capacity for breathwork will be greater than others, and that fluctuation is normal. On days when you feel more activated or fragile, scale back to the gentlest techniques. On days when you feel resourced and grounded, you can engage with more challenging practices. This responsiveness to your current state is itself a form of healing. It is the opposite of the rigid survival patterns trauma creates. Learning to attune to your own needs, breath by breath, rebuilds the self-connection that trauma disrupts.

Recognizing Signs of Trauma Release

When stored trauma begins to discharge from the nervous system during breathwork, it produces observable physical and emotional responses. Understanding these signs helps you stay present with the process rather than becoming alarmed or shutting down.

Physical Release Signs

Neurogenic trembling: Involuntary shaking, particularly in the legs, arms, or torso. This is a natural mammalian discharge mechanism. Animals shake after escaping predators to release survival energy. Humans retain this capacity but often suppress it.

Temperature changes: Waves of heat or cold moving through specific body areas. Heat often accompanies release of held anger. Cold may accompany release of freeze patterns.

Spontaneous movement: Your body may want to curl up, stretch, push away with arms, or kick. These movements represent completion of defensive actions that were not possible during the original event.

Yawning, sighing, and gurgling: Direct signs of vagal activation. Deep yawns indicate the parasympathetic system is coming online. Digestive sounds signal that the enteric nervous system is reactivating.

Emotional Release Signs

Unexpected tears: Crying without a specific thought or memory attached, representing grief or sadness stored in the body that predates cognitive memory.

Waves of anger: If anger was suppressed during trauma, it may surface during breathwork as the body completes its original protective response.

Relief and lightness: A sudden sense of spaciousness or ease after emotional expression, indicating successful discharge of held survival energy.

Spontaneous imagery: Brief flashes of images or sense-memories may arise, representing the body's processing of stored material. Note them without analyzing, and discuss with your therapist if applicable.

After-Session Self-Care Protocol

Following a breathwork session where release occurred, support your integration with these practices:

Rest in stillness for at least 10 minutes after practice.
Drink warm water or herbal tea to support grounding.
Eat a small, nourishing snack to help settle the nervous system.
Journal briefly about sensations, emotions, or insights (without over-analyzing).
Take a gentle walk or do light stretching to help the body integrate.
Avoid intense social interaction, screens, or stressful activities for 1-2 hours.
Sleep may be deeper that night. Allow extra rest time if possible.

Safety Considerations and Contraindications

Trauma-focused breathwork requires careful attention to safety. The same qualities that make it effective (accessing stored material, shifting nervous system states) mean it can produce intense experiences requiring proper containment.

When to Proceed with Caution

If you have active PTSD, complex trauma, panic attacks, or dissociative tendencies, work with a trained practitioner for intense techniques. Gentle regulatory practices (diaphragmatic breathing, extended exhale) are generally safe for self-practice.

Medical Contraindications

Conditions requiring medical clearance include cardiovascular issues (uncontrolled high blood pressure, arrhythmias), epilepsy, respiratory conditions (severe asthma, COPD), pregnancy, recent surgery, and psychiatric conditions involving psychosis or severe dissociation.

Technique Category	Safety Level	Self-Practice Appropriate	Notes
Diaphragmatic breathing	Very safe	Yes, for everyone	Foundation practice, daily use
Extended exhale	Very safe	Yes, for most people	Reduce counts if dizzy
Coherence breathing	Safe	Yes, with gradual build-up	Start with shorter sessions
Connected breathing	Moderate caution	With experience only	Begin with facilitator support
Holotropic breathwork	Requires supervision	No, facilitator required	Extended sessions need trained guidance
Breath retention (advanced)	Caution required	Only with training	Contraindicated for some conditions

Recognizing Overwhelm vs. Healthy Activation

Healthy activation feels intense but manageable. You remain aware of your surroundings and can modulate the practice. Overwhelm, by contrast, involves loss of present-moment awareness: flashbacks, dissociation, uncontrollable hyperventilation, or feeling paralyzed. If these occur, stop immediately, open your eyes, press feet into the ground, hold something cold, and name five things you can see.

Integrating Breathwork with Therapy

Breathwork produces the strongest results for trauma healing when integrated with professional therapeutic support. Several therapeutic modalities pair especially well with breath-based practices.

Somatic Experiencing (SE): Developed by Dr. Peter Levine, SE works directly with the body's stress responses. Breathwork enhances SE by providing tools for accessing and titrating body sensations between sessions.

EMDR: Breathwork supports EMDR by improving nervous system regulation between sessions and helping clients access calm before processing begins.

Trauma-Focused CBT: Breathwork complements CBT by providing body-based tools for managing arousal, combining top-down (cognitive) and bottom-up (somatic) approaches.

Internal Family Systems (IFS): Breathwork helps access embodied states and supports the Self-energy that IFS cultivates. Breath awareness helps notice when protective parts activate.

Share your breathwork practice with your therapist. Discuss techniques, what arises, and how breathwork interacts with your therapeutic process.

Choosing a Breathwork Practitioner

Look for practitioners with certification in trauma-informed breathwork, training in somatic modalities, understanding of Polyvagal Theory, and experience with trauma populations. Ask about their safety approach and whether they collaborate with mental health professionals.

The Breath as Teacher

Throughout human history, breath has occupied a central place in healing traditions. The Latin word "spiritus" means both breath and spirit. The Sanskrit "prana" refers to both breath and life force. The Greek "pneuma" signifies breath, spirit, and soul. These linguistic connections are not coincidental. They reflect a deep, cross-cultural understanding that working with the breath touches something fundamental in the human experience. When you practice breathwork for trauma release, you are participating in an ancient healing tradition that modern science is now validating with remarkable precision. Each exhale can be an act of letting go. Each inhale, an invitation to receive something new.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is breathwork for trauma release?

Breathwork for trauma release uses specific breathing patterns to access and discharge stored trauma from the nervous system. It works directly with the body's stress response, helping to complete fight-or-flight cycles that became frozen during traumatic experiences.

How does breathwork help release stored trauma?

Specific breathing patterns activate the vagus nerve, shift the body from sympathetic activation to parasympathetic calm, and allow incomplete stress responses to complete naturally. This can produce physical releases like trembling, temperature changes, or emotional expression.

Is breathwork safe for people with PTSD?

Gentle techniques (diaphragmatic breathing, extended exhale) are generally safe. More intense techniques like connected breathing should be approached with professional guidance. Start slowly and build gradually.

How quickly does breathwork reduce trauma symptoms?

Many notice calming within a single session. Consistent daily practice produces noticeable shifts within 2-4 weeks. Deeper patterns may require 3-6 months combined with other therapeutic approaches.

What is the best time of day to practice?

Morning practice sets a regulated baseline. Evening extended exhale supports better sleep. Avoid activating techniques within 3 hours of bedtime.

Can breathwork cause a trauma response?

In rare cases, intense breathwork can trigger flashbacks or dissociation. This is why trauma-informed practice emphasizes gradual progression and professional support. Gentle techniques carry minimal risk.

Do I need special equipment?

No. A comfortable, quiet space is sufficient. Optional supports include a cushion, breathing app, journal, and HRV monitor.

How does breathwork differ from meditation?

Breathwork uses active manipulation of breathing patterns to influence the nervous system, while meditation typically involves observing the breath without changing it. Many protocols combine both approaches.

Your Breath Is Your Ally

Trauma may have disrupted your relationship with your body, but the breath remains a constant, accessible pathway back to safety and connection. Every conscious breath you take is an act of reclaiming your nervous system from the grip of past experiences. The body that stored the trauma also holds the capacity for release and renewal.

Start where you are. If all you can manage today is three conscious breaths with a slightly longer exhale, that is enough. Those three breaths activate your vagus nerve, signal safety to your brain, and begin the process of rewiring your stress response. Tomorrow, perhaps you will practice for five minutes. Next week, ten.

There is no rush. Healing happens at the pace your nervous system can integrate, and that pace deserves respect. What matters is that you have found your way here, to the understanding that breath and body hold both the imprint of what happened and the key to moving through it. Trust your breath. Trust your body's wisdom. One exhale at a time, you are finding your way home.
