Nervous System Healing & Breathwork for Sobriety with Trish Brewer
Mar 31, 2025
In this episode of Sober Fit Life, I sit down with Trish Brewer, a certified trauma-informed breathwork coach, Reiki master teacher, and co-author of We Lead, Volume Two. Trish helps individuals release trauma, reduce stress, and reconnect with their authentic selves through conscious breathwork.
After years of witnessing the impact of alcohol in her family, Trish made the conscious choice to step away. She realized that alcohol was not serving her health, energy, or emotional well-being. Instead of reaching for a drink, she turned to breathwork techniques—and they changed everything.
In this episode, we explore:
π¬οΈ How breathwork became Trish’s tool for emotional regulation and healing
π· Why she stopped drinking—even though she wasn’t a “problem drinker”
π§ The science of breathwork & how it helps regulate the nervous system
π₯ Breath techniques for reducing stress, anxiety, and alcohol cravings
βΈοΈ The Power of the Pause—how breathwork can create space for better choices
