When group stress-relief practices trigger some members while helping others

Our friend group started doing breathwork sessions together to manage stress, but it's become clear that some of us have trauma responses during the practices while others feel amazing, and we don't know how to navigate the different needs without splitting up the group. The people who struggle feel broken and the ones who benefit feel guilty.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

A well-intentioned collective practice is revealing differences in stress physiology that threaten group cohesion and individual self-worth.
