  • Deeply Meaningful Series — One Small Suggestion

    This podcast offers a truly important space for exploring healing, trauma, and mental health with depth and care. I’m grateful for the range of voices and the wisdom shared — there’s so much to reflect on in each episode.

    If I may offer one small suggestion with great respect: sometimes the hosts ask multiple layered questions in a row, which can feel a bit overwhelming — even one of the guests in Episode 28 kindly asked (I’m paraphrasing), “Which question would you like me to answer first?” Th... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Why nervous system capacity must comes first: Avoiding retraumatisation | Carla Shohet | #062 Mastering Change
Q: Why do you think trauma education has historically overlooked the nervous system as the foundation for healing?
The reasons include natural human resistance to change, slow societal adoption, the complexity and difficulty of the work, and a tendency in some education to overemphasize cognitive approaches without experiential regulation.
Conscious Connected Breathing | Jamie Clements | #057 Mastering Change
Q: What is the role of breathwork in relation to psychedelics and clinical settings?
He notes breathwork can be a safe, accessible middle ground offering similar insights without substance use, but stresses the need for professional guidance, ethical considerations, and collaboration with broader psychedelic therapy frameworks.
Conscious Connected Breathing | Jamie Clements | #057 Mastering Change
Q: How do you ensure safety when guiding people through deeper breathwork or altered states?
Jamie emphasizes safety by advocating for proper preparation and integration, using a gentle tempo, controlled exposure (titration and pendulation), and a strong focus on psychological safety to prevent retraumatization and to help participants re-contextualize intense experiences.
Conscious Connected Breathing | Jamie Clements | #057 Mastering Change
Q: Can you describe the micro and macro aspects of breathwork and how they complement each other?
He describes micro breathwork as daily, practical practices for awareness and nervous system regulation, which lay the groundwork for deeper macro experiences that can involve more transformative or non-ordinary states, always emphasizing integration.
Conscious Connected Breathing | Jamie Clements | #057 Mastering Change
Q: What sparked your interest in breathwork and how did you start The Breathspace?
Jamie explains that a challenging personal journey through anxiety and depression led him to explore breathwork after being introduced to a transformative session in a yoga studio; this sparked a long-term commitment to develop breathwork as a central therapeutic tool and to expand its reach through his practice and speaking engagements.
