In this powerful conversation, I sit down with my friend and Reiki Master Teacher Trish Brewer to explore how breathwork can transform our relationship with our shadow patterns.
Trish shares her healing journey—from a hospital visit that changed everything to discovering breathwork at a festival in Vermont, where she experienced what she calls "a coming home." We dive deep into how breathwork creates a bridge between the conscious and unconscious mind, allowing us to befriend our shadows rather than fight them.
You'll discover:
✨ How shadows form as protective patterns in childhood and why they're actually hidden allies
✨ The science behind why active breathwork can help complete stuck trauma cycles in your nervous system
✨ Why shadow work is like working with a toddler—requiring patience, compassion, and understanding
✨ How breathwork creates a strong enough container to hold whatever arises during integration
✨ Why healing is a lifelong journey (and how to find joy along the way)
Trish beautifully explains how our shadows—like the perfectionist, people pleaser, or hyper independent—once served to protect us but may now be limiting our growth. She shares practical insights about how breathwork can help us move these patterns through our body rather than keeping them stored and stuck.
Whether you're curious about breathwork, ready to explore your own shadow patterns, or looking for somatic tools to complement your healing journey, this episode offers both compassionate insight and practical wisdom.
