Sitter
Also known as: Breathwork buddy
German: Sitter (Begleitperson), Begleitperson
In Holotropic Breathwork, participants work in pairs: one breathes while the other, the sitter, stays nearby as a calm, non-directing presence. A sitter offers water, tissues or a steady hand if wanted and calls the facilitator when needed, but does not steer the experience or interpret it.
