Night terrors are REAL.
And they happen for a very real, nervous system-related, reason:
“I suddenly wake up, sometimes not even knowing who I am, with a fast heartbeat and trembling from the inside out.”
“I wake up feeling like I’m going to throw up and I feel hopeless. Everything feels dark, and when I think about the things that make me happy, nothing changes…”
“There’s literally nothing I can do to calm down. It makes me dread going to sleep, which doesn’t help anything.”

My mission is to cut through the reset and reboot racket and equip you with education. To help you relearn how to learn. And often, when we’re learning, we need to hear something more than once. From different angles, at different times, in different contexts.
