I am not sure if this is what you are talking about however I was once at a master class with a highly respected teacher. Once of the other singers had a habit of pulling his stomach in when he breathed in and then pushing down on his breath when he sang.
As a result he tended to run out of breath and found it very difficult to maintain a long legato phrase. She called it "reverse breathing".
If this is what you are doing maybe consulting the pages containing breathing exercises in the data base may help.
