Can I have a shorter breathwork session?

A 2-hour session is recommended because the body and nervous system need time to prepare for and integrate the practice of Conscious Connected Breathing (CCB). The breathing component itself is typically around 60 minutes. This is because most people’s breathing process naturally unfolds over approximately 60 minutes, although some people may move through it more quickly and others more slowly. During the first 10–20 minutes, most people are simply settling into the breathing rhythm, adjusting to changes in CO₂ levels, becoming aware of bodily sensations, and shifting their attention from the mind into the body. As the session continues, physical sensations and emotions often become more noticeable, with deeper emotional processing, memories, or insights commonly emerging later in the practice. If the breathing is stopped after only 20–30 minutes, it may interrupt someone while they are in the middle of processing an emotion or past experience.

The remainder of the session is dedicated to grounding and integration, giving participants time to rest, reflect, and process their experience. This integration period is considered just as important as the breathing itself. Many breathwork practitioners believe that this longer format supports deeper nervous system regulation, the release of chronic tension, and more complete emotional processing.

What is a Trauma Informed Practitioner

A trauma-informed practitioner is a professional who understands how trauma can affect a person’s brain, body, emotions, relationships & behaviour, & adapts the way they work to avoid causing further harm while supporting healing. Being trauma-informed doesn’t necessarily mean the practitioner specialises in trauma. Rather, it means they approach every client with the understanding that past trauma may be influencing their experiences, even if it hasn’t been disclosed.

A trauma-informed practitioner typically follows these principles:

• Safety: They create an environment where the participant feels physically & emotionally safe.

• Trust & transparency: They explain before doing anything, respect boundaries, & don’t pressure the participant.

• Choice: They give the participant options & encourage them to make decisions relating to their own session.

• Collaboration: They work with the participant rather than acting as the expert who knows what’s best.

• Avoid re-traumatisation: They work at the participant’s pace & don’t push them to revisit painful experiences before they are ready.

  Trauma can leave the nervous system in a heightened state of alert or protection. A trauma-informed practitioner recognizes this & works in a way that supports the participant’s sense of safety, autonomy, & connection. Rather than trying to “fix” the participant, they help create the conditions in which healing can occur at a pace the participant’s nervous system can tolerate.

What causes Tetani (cramping of hand & mouth muscles) When you breathe rapidly or deeply for an extended period, sufficient oxygen is inhaled, but more carbon dioxide (CO₂) is exhaled than your body is producing. Blood CO₂ levels fall (hypocapnia) so the blood becomes more alkaline (respiratory alkalosis). This changes how calcium behaves in the blood. Nerves & muscles become more excitable, leading to involuntary contractions. In most healthy people during a supervised breathwork session, tetany is uncomfortable but not dangerous & usually resolves when breathing returns to normal & CO₂ levels recover.

Difficulty remembering parts of childhood can be associated with trauma, particularly when experiences were overwhelming or chronic. One possible explanation is dissociation, where the brain reduces awareness of an experience to help a child cope. This can result in fragmented, vague, or inaccessible memories later in life. However, there are many other reasons why someone may have few childhood memories, including normal childhood amnesia (most adults remember very little before age 3–4), memories naturally fading over time or a childhood that was relatively routine & lacked many distinctive events.

It can actually be quite normal & common for someone to not remember much of their childhood, only glimpses. These glimpses are also often difficult events. The brain has a negativity bias, meaning it naturally pays more attention to negative experiences than positive ones. This evolved as a survival mechanism. Remembering threats, dangers, & painful experiences helped our ancestors avoid harm & stay alive. As a result, negative experiences are often stored more strongly in memory than positive ones.

The good news is that, through practices such as mindfulness, gratitude, therapy, & Breathwork, we can strengthen our awareness of positive experiences & reduce the influence of this bias over time.

Breathing through the mouth brings repressed emotions & feelings to the surface & while breathing through the nose also does this, it has the added advantage of helping integrate these emotions. If emotions surface & they are not integrated promptly, they can cause emotional instability & confusion.

There are also several physiological changes that can happen in the body with mouth breathing that can cause more severe side effects (dizziness, disassociation). More detail about these symptoms are explained in the ‘Science of Breathwork’ page.
