My Journey from Darkness to Light: How Breathwork Healed My Depression & Anxiety

From my first breath, I was fighting to survive. Born a "blue baby" with a heart defect that limited my ability to breathe properly, I began life with a pattern that would follow me for decades—struggling to catch my breath, both literally and emotionally.

When Trauma Takes Root

At 11, my grandmother—my emotional anchor—passed away. Overwhelmed by grief, I found myself sent from Iran to a boarding school in Los Angeles. The unintended message I received was clear: strong emotions are not to be felt but escaped.

This early childhood trauma became the template for my life. Throughout my 20s, I moved approximately 40 times, unconsciously running from feelings I didn't know how to process. Depression had already taken hold by age 16, though I wouldn't recognize it until much later—just a deep, overwhelming loneliness that made my heart feel like it would explode.

"I was constantly running, not realizing that my anxiety and depression were following me wherever I went."

Linda Vazin and Daughter, Pia at the ocean.

The Breaking Point That Led to Breakthrough

At 49, facing divorce, my emotions were all over the place—relief mixed with profound sadness, peace intertwined with pain. Friends urged me to "get out of this funk" and "move on," reinforcing society's message that difficult emotions should be suppressed rather than processed.

When my daughter returned from college suffering from severe depression, my own mental health spiraled to dangerous lows, sometimes becoming suicidal. My relationships fractured, especially with my mother, whose attempts at support often triggered intense anger that left me drowning in guilt.

This was my darkest hour—but also the catalyst for transformation.

Discovering the Healing Power of Breath

It was during this rock-bottom period that I discovered Holotropic & Rebirthing Breathwork. Unlike the countless books, workshops, and therapy sessions I'd tried before, breathwork addressed trauma at its most fundamental level—within the cells of my body.

For the first time, I understood that "our issues are in our tissues." The trauma I'd carried wasn't just mental—it was physically imprinted in my body, waiting to be released through conscious breathing.

Transformational Breathwork allowed me to:

Release decades of unprocessed grief and abandonment

Experience emotions fully without being overwhelmed

Connect with my authentic self beneath layers of conditioning
Find genuine peace not dependent on external circumstances

Freedom Beyond Anxiety and Depression

The transformation wasn't immediate, but it was profound. My mind gradually became spacious and peaceful. I stopped ruminating on problems and started experiencing genuine presence. Most importantly, my relationships began to heal—especially the one with myself.

I discovered a capacity for unconditional love I never knew I possessed—particularly with my daughter, whom I could now support without attachment to outcomes. The freedom from anxiety and depression I'd sought for decades finally arrived, not through running or fixing, but through breathing and feeling.
