What You’ll Gain

Graduate ready to guide trauma-informed breathwork

Structure 1:1 sessions with safety and clarity
Reduce overwhelm with pacing and titration
Work with patterns (7 Belts of Tension, developmental themes)
Hold boundaries, articulate scope and ethics
Explain the method simply to clients

You’ll leave with a method, not just techniques—so you know what to do, when, and why.

The BBTRS® Method

Six elements.

One coherent system.

The BBTRS® method is built on six core elements that work together to safely release trauma stored in the body:

Breath — entry to awareness and regulation
Movement — frees held tension
Sound — supports expression and discharge
Touch — grounds and contains
Emotion — integrates feeling with body
Meditation — presence and integration

It’s not about pushing for big releases or altered states. BBTRS® takes a gentler path — we stay within the body’s window of tolerance, working slowly and with consent, so the nervous system can truly integrate change rather than be overwhelmed.

Open each module to see the course content, practice requirements, and assessment.

Module 1: Foundations of Trauma-Informed Breathwork

Lay the groundwork by experiencing BBTRS® in your own body. You’ll learn how trauma patterns live in the nervous system and how the 6 Elements—Breath, Movement, Sound, Touch, Emotion, Meditation—support regulation, release, and integration. The focus is safety, consent, pacing, and your growing capacity to stay present.

Key Learnings:

1. Trauma physiology and nervous-system regulation

2. Felt sense, resourcing, pendulation, and titration

3. The 6-Element System in practice

4. Self-bodywork, grounding, and unwinding

5. Safety and containment in sessions

By the end of Module 1, you’ll have a grounded understanding of your own embodied process and how to create safety for clients from the inside out.

Module 2: Practitioner Skills & Supervised Facilitation

Turn personal work into professional skill through guided mentorship, self-bodywork, and live facilitation practice. You’ll learn to structure sessions, track client responses in real time, and support trauma release safely—while maintaining your own regulation and attunement.
