The comment from kdk above makes a lot of sense to me.
I'm learning to play the clarinet, in order to learn diphragm breathing and the involuntary nature of good healthy breathing is just gradually becoming apparent to me.
I think if a person is very tense then they can end up unintentionally holding their breath, and then breathing moves to the shoulder area.
Just recently I tried to doing a load of heavy gardening (pick axe stuff mostly) and after that I found that my abdominal breathing became completely automatic, just as KDK says. It was a very big change, and nothing to do with intentionally breathing in or out or with any particular muscle. I just knocked all of the tension out of my muscles and they kind of started working properly all on their own.
After that I came to understand what "support" meant, because it just started to work all by itself.
