BETTER BREATHING FOR TRAUMA- Jan 2025

Are you looking for ways to help yourself (or your clients) breathe easier, but don’t know where to start? Maybe you’ve found that being told to “take a deep breath” makes you feel more anxious, or that the relaxing “breathwork” session you took left you feeling totally freaked out. 

 

Traumatic stress in the body can change our breathing, and even well-intentioned cues often fall short or exacerbate the problem. Join Laura and Integrative Breathing Therapist Jennifer Snowdon for this two hour workshop on Better Breathing for Trauma. Blending research-backed methods and your embodied intuition, you’ll leave with practical strategies and a better understanding of how to work with the breath in your own body as a resource for trauma healing, and to support others as well. 

​

In this two hour experiential workshop, you'll learn: 

​

• Recognize adaptive patterns of traumatic stress breathing

• Practical, trauma-informed tools to shift into more relaxed breathing states

• How to work with the breath when the breath itself is stressful. 

​

This workshop is suitable for individuals or for practitioners (therapists, coaches, bodyworkers), however it is not intended to treat active trauma, nor is it a substitute for mental health care.
