Intuitive Self: IFS + Intuition + Spirituality with Natalie Deering1 Apr

Breath as a Pathway to Healing, Regulation, and Connection, with Tracey Soghrati

In this episode I’m joined by Tracey Soghrati—Psychotherapist, Yoga Therapist, and Registered Nurse—to explore breath as a pathway to healing, regulation, and connection.

We begin with a simple truth: everybody breathes—but not everyone feels safe in their breath.

I share my personal history with respiratory illness, including TB, pneumonia, and asthma, and how these experiences activated vulnerable parts within me. Together, we explore how breath is not just physical—it’s emotional, protective, and deeply relational.

Through an Internal Family Systems (IFS) lens, we unpack the parts of us connected to breathing, including those that brace, restrict, or fear being heard. We also explore how breath impacts the nervous system and how intentional breathwork can support regulation and healing.

This episode includes three guided breathing practices, led by Tracey, so you can experience this work firsthand.

In This Episode, We Explore:

The universal yet complex nature of breathing
How illness and trauma can impact our relationship with breath
The connection between breath and the nervous system
Protective parts that brace, restrict, or control breathing
The impact of chronic body bracing on emotional and physical health
Fear around vocalizing breath and being heard
Building safety and relationship with the breath
Three guided breathing practices you can return to anytime
