Uniqueness In-Depth Psycho-Therapy Breath and Healing When we experience ourselves to be in danger, the automatic response is to suck in our breath and hold it. For instance, if we are coming through an intersection and a car runs a stop sign and nearly hits us, the automatic thing is to gasp in a breath and hold it until the danger is over with. When we perceive ourselves to be in constant danger, especially growing up, we then chronically hold our breath. When we reach adulthood, instead of natural breathing, we have learned to hold our breath, so that not breathing is the norm. Much of our work here is to help people begin to re-breathe. Obviously, if we are holding our breath in a chronic manner, we are depriving ourselves of oxygen which hinders how we live and function physically. But, in addition, through the holding of our breath, we are holding in the memories of trauma that were the cause of our holding of our breath as well as locking in the feelings around all of that. Thus, getting the individual to reclaim their breath, they are not only getting more oxygen to the body which is important enough, but we are also releasing the self from the traumatic memories and the feelings surrounding them as well. Furthermore, as they get released, the need to hold it all in subsides and we begin to, once again, breath normally again, like we did in the pre-trauma days. Back To In-Depth Psycho-Therapy |
