Healing Shame & Dissociation with the Breath

Many of us learned at a young age that it wasn’t safe to fully express our emotions. Instead of being met with comfort, we were taught to “be strong,” “don’t cry,” or “keep it together.” Over time, our bodies adapted by shutting down sadness and burying shame. This survival strategy often shows up as collapse, numbness, depression, or dissociation the nervous system’s way of protecting us from overwhelm.

But what gets buried doesn’t disappear. Those tender parts of us that feel unworthy, unseen, or forgotten are still there longing for care. The pathway out of shame and freeze isn’t through force or judgment, but through compassion. Breathwork offers a direct way to reconnect with those hidden places and gently bring them into the light.

What to Expect in This 90-Minute Session

• Teaching & Nervous System Education : You’ll learn how shame-based beliefs take root, why sadness often gets suppressed, and how collapse and freeze states are part of the body’s survival design.

• Guided Breathwork Practice: A 3-part Circular Breathwork journey focused on releasing shame and inviting in compassion, safety, and worthiness.

• Integration & Community Connection: Space to share, reflect, and feel witnessed in a supportive group. This is where insights land and healing deepens.

This practice is for you if:

• You’ve felt “stuck” in patterns of numbness, self-doubt, or disconnection.

• You carry unspoken sadness or old shame that feels heavy.

• You long to meet yourself with more compassion, tenderness, and safety.

No experience is needed. Just bring your breath, your heart, and your truth.
