I had a therapist who gave me breathing training to try to help me with that. We timed how many breaths I would take in a minute and turns out I breathe quite fast and shallow.
Mindfulness meditation where you focus on your breathing helps you learn what it feels like to take proper deep breaths. If you practice it regularly you can catch yourself breathing shallow and fast during the day and make a conscious effort to slow it down.
Maybe doing a mindfulness / breathing exercise like that would be helpful for when you feel dizzy in therapy?
