Why Shame Makes You Hold Your Breath — And the Yawn That Can Free Your Voice
When you're carrying something you don't want anyone to know — a secret, a shame, a truth about what happened to you — your body starts holding its breath. Automatically. Without your permission. And then when someone asks what's wrong, your voice won't come. That isn't shyness. That's a trauma response. And it has a somatic fix. In this video, I show you how to use one of the body's most natural relaxation responses — the yawn — as an entry point back into free breath and free voice. If you practice this in your safe alone moments, your body will remember it in the moments you need it most. 🌿 Join The Healthy Voice Community: https://the-healthy-voice-community.c... 🎤 The Voice Liberation Method (7-week guided course): https://the-healthy-voice-community.c... 📖 Free Guide — Why Your Voice Disappears Under Stress: https://bella-payne.kit.com/freeguide ✍️ Substack — Singing Through the Shadows: www.thehealthyvoicewrites.com 📷 Instagram: / the_healthy_voice 1:1 coaching: Intro session (75 min): https://calendly.com/hello-bellapayne/75 Follow-up (60 min): https://calendly.com/hello-bellapayne... 🎶 The harmonium changed my practice.
