It is important to have a guide or teacher when practicing breathwork, as they can provide support and guidance through the process.
The toxic self-help culture often promotes the idea that we need to constantly fix ourselves, but breathwork teaches us to accept and honor all parts of ourselves, including our emotions.
Anger is a valid and important emotion that can be channeled into positive change when used appropriately.
