From Assault To Breathwork Healing And Power with Trauma Informed Breathwork Coach Romy Limenes

Send us Fan MailShe went out for a late lunch in a place she’d visited hundreds of times, then lost nearly eight hours of memory and woke up in a hospital, badly beaten. What happened next was its own kind of trauma: Romy says she was criminalized and treated like the aggressor, even though she was the one who called for help. That betrayal cracked open everything she thought she could trust, and it forced a decision that so many of us face in different ways: stay trapped in rage and fear, or rebuild from the inside out.We talk through the aftermath in a grounded, trauma-informed way, including how stress and trauma live in the nervous system, why the thinking brain can’t solve stored survival responses, and what “inner safety” actually looks like day to day. Romy shares the practical tools that helped her climb out of a constant fight-or-flight state: breathwork, movement, shaking, using your voice, stillness, and radical self-compassion. We also unpack the harder emotional work, like releasing people pleasing, letting go of the need to be believed by everyone, and choosing forgiveness as a practice that frees you without excusing what happened.Faith is part of this story too, not as denial, but as an anchor. We explore gratitude, service, and trust as daily lifelines, and how Romy’s book Broken To Breathful grew out of a choice to turn pain into purpose. If you’re searching for breathwork for trauma, healing from assault, nervous system regulation, self-love, or women’s empowerment, this conversation offers language and steps you can use right now.Subscribe for more stories of resilience, share this with someone who needs hope, and leave a review so more listeners can find the show. What part of Romy’s path to reclaiming her power hit closest to home?To connect with, work with or purchase Romy's book you can visit her website at: breathworksimple.com or visit her Instagram @romylimenesSupport the showTo download a free chapter of host Sylvia Worsham's bestselling book, In Faith, I Thrive: Finding Joy Through God's Masterplan, purchase any of her products, or book a call with her, visit her website at www.sylviaworsham.com
