7 - Third round and I still am not making progress with my breathing. Whenever I notice it, it is always shallow. Unless I do 20 mins plus of conscious breathing, I appear to not be inhaling adequately - and so wonder if the result is chronic oxygen deprivation in my system. Any suggestions as to why this is and what to do, practically, to shift this?

It sounds like there is a strong freeze response in your system and that this exercise may not be enough to loosen that up, which is not uncommon. It often takes a lot of time and support to come out of freeze. The added support of one-on-one sessions might be important here.
