Breathwork can feel intimidating after betrayal trauma, yet it can also be one of the most powerful ways to release what the body has been holding.

In this episode of The Empowered Divorce Podcast, Amie is joined by her friend and colleague Halle for a grounded, trauma informed conversation about somatic breathwork. Together they explore why breathwork can feel intense after trauma, how betrayal lives in the body, and why healing often requires more than talking things through.

They discuss nervous system activation, emotional release, and the importance of safety and co regulation when doing somatic work. Halle shares how breathwork helps quiet the survival brain, clear stored trauma, and allow women to reconnect with their bodies in a way that feels empowering rather than overwhelming.

This episode also introduces the upcoming Costa Rica women’s retreat and offers practical ways to begin reconnecting with your breath today, even if you are not ready for a formal breathwork session.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Why breathwork can feel scary or intense after betrayal trauma

• How trauma is stored in the body and why somatic healing matters

• The difference between activation and regulation in healing

• Why being witnessed is essential for emotional release

• How breathwork can help you let go of what you no longer need to carry

• Simple ways to start reconnecting with your breath right now
