3.2. Rebirthing and Conscious Connected Breathing
Anecdotal support for clinical efficacy of these practices comes from a clinical case study reported by de Wit and Cruz (2021), who describe sustained remission of PTSD symptoms, and reduction of depression and anxiety symptoms after eight weekly breathwork sessions of around an hour.
The authors theorise that the CCB-enhanced cognitive processing capacity of the traumatic experience was paralleled by shifting components of autonomous nervous system activity (de Wit and Cruz, 2021). Further benefits of CCB were found in participants who underwent 10 sessions of CCB over four months, reporting decreases in anger, anxiety, and depression, along with an increase in joy and satisfaction following CCB (Heyda, 2000).

Rebirth Your Life 
You sound amazing and I am so very interesting in Breathwork, having read a lot about it over the last few years. Are you still practicing in central London? Have you space and time for new clients?
Thanks for this, yes still practicing in Central London ( Euston /Mornington Crescent ) I work from home. Small groups of 4 will start in March. I can always accomdate new clients, as I have some weekly, most fortnightly and experienced breathers monthly. I also specialise in sessions for shift workers and those that travel a lot so nothing is constant. I can always move people around as many don’t know their work schedule or shift rota – So I only book 2 weeks ahead. Very few have the same day/time but that can be arranged too if needed. I work afternoons, evenings and weekends. I don’t work everyday. I always see a client for 2 hours initially which is FREE. This gives me information about what is needed and if I can match needs. Sometimes I ‘breathe’ them for an hour, sometimes not. On various pages on my site are email and phone contact information as well as personal info about me and my work over 30 years. Yes Breathwork has suddenly become fashionable, but it’s experience that counts when PTSD and memories come up. I trained in 1988 so it’s been a while . .
