Breathwork for Trauma Recovery: Nervous System Regulation & Rebuilding Trust in the Body | With Rachel Lee

Trauma changes the way the body responds to the world. Long after the event has passed, the nervous system can remain stuck in patterns of hyper vigilance, anxiety, and emotional shutdown. Learning how to regulate the nervous system is a critical step in rebuilding safety and trust within the body.

In this episode of Trauma, Training & Transformation, Dr James Alder speaks with breathwork practitioner Rachel Lee about the role of conscious breathing in trauma recovery. Together, they explore how breathwork can help regulate the autonomic nervous system, calm the stress response, and create the physiological conditions needed for healing.

This conversation examines how trauma is stored not only in memory but also within the body’s physiological responses. Rachel explains how structured breathing practices can support nervous system regulation, improve emotional stability, and help individuals reconnect with their bodies in a safe and controlled way.

Grounded in psychology, trauma awareness, and practical application, this episode explores the mind body connection and how breath can become a powerful tool for recovery, resilience, and long term mental wellbeing.
