What's the one thing people are shocked you gave up?
For me it's coffee. I ran a cafe for nearly ten years, invented a coffee product, and haven't touched it in over 18 months. Alcohol went too.

It wasn't willpower. Once I understood what caffeine and alcohol actually do to your nervous system, breathwork gave me a better version of the thing I was chasing anyway.

Your nervous system is working overtime and breathwork is exactly what you need and also your worst nightmare.
Let me explain.

Misophonia, the intense irritability or rage triggered by specific sounds, isn't a personality quirk. It's not you being oversensitive or difficult or uptight. It's your nervous system already running so close to its limit that there is no buffer left for anything that feels intrusive.

The sound isn't the problem. The state you're already in when you hear it is.

Think about it. The sounds that trigger you are completely neutral to other people. Someone eating an apple across the room. A colleague breathing too loudly in a meeting. Someone sniffing on public transport. Sounds that most people don't even register.

But for you they land like an alarm. A full body response that feels completely out of proportion and completely uncontrollable.

Because it is uncontrollable. At the level of thought.
Your nervous system has been running in low grade threat mode for so long that its threshold for what counts as a threat has dropped to almost nothing. The cup is already full. Any sound that feels intrusive tips it over.

That's not a sound problem. That's a baseline problem.
And breathwork addresses it at the baseline. Not managing the reaction in the moment, although it helps with that too. But gradually shifting your nervous system's set point so the cup isn't full before the day has even started.

So yes. A breathwork class involves other people breathing. Loudly. In a room together.

And yes. That might be your worst nightmare right now.

But the people who walk out of that room are the ones who came in with the fullest cups.

Come anyway.

Okay, so you've named the feeling. Now what?

Naming it is real neuroscience: a 2007 UCLA study found that putting a word to an emotion calms the brain's threat centre and switches on the part that keeps you steady. But it's step one, not the finish line. Once you've named it, here's where you go next:

1. Get specific. 'Stressed' is fine, 'stressed and lonely' works better. Precision helps you regulate.

2. Locate it in your body and breathe into it. Long, slow exhales, longer out than in.

3. Say it to one person. You were never meant to regulate alone.

4. If it's sticking around, that's your cue to reach for real support, not a sign you're failing.

This R U OK Day, ask the question and then actually stay for the answer.

And if today is heavy for you: you're not a burden, and help is close.

Corporate breathwork in Sydney is growing. More businesses are recognising that nervous system regulation isn't a nice-to-have, it's how you actually support a team under pressure. Getting to guide people through it is a genuine privilege, and one I don't take for granted.

Has your workplace held a breathwork session yet?

What's actually happening in your body in the final seconds before the gun? That's where most Hyrox races are quietly won or lost, long before your legs give out.

The arena floods your system: the noise, the crowd, the person next to you already flying. Your nervous system reads it as threat, heart rate climbs, and you burn energy you needed for the race before you've even moved. It's not weakness. It's an untrained response.

Here's where hypnosis comes in, and no, not the swinging-watch stuff. Hypnosis is just focused attention plus suggestion, and it's one of the most direct ways to condition a calm, switched-on state so it fires automatically when it counts. You rehearse the start line in your mind, pair it with the exact feeling you want, and train your system to drop into race mode on cue instead of spiralling into panic. You stop hoping you'll feel ready. You've already practised it.

Comment the word HYPNOSIS and I'll create a hypnosis track to get you focused and ready for race day, so you walk in there and do your absolute best
