Hi folks!

Did you know that, every month, over 150,000 people scour the internet for:

“How to reduce stress”

“How to calm down”

“How to relax”

And that’s just according to what Google trends can measure. 🤷🏻‍♀️

As a nervous system expert who’s practiced and taught this stuff for over 25 years… 

I’m not surprised.

Modern day human beings have become masters of what I call “coping strategies.” 

There are whole industries out there, built around and the resources – positive and not-so-positive – that we have created in order to help soothe our activation…

But what happens when we can’t meditate, tap, or Tai Chi our way out anymore? 

In other words: 

I spend some time answering this question in my new YouTube vlog, called ‘Can’t Calm Down? Why Your Coping Strategies Fall Short — A Nervous System Expert Explains’ 

In this 27-min video, I also get into:

  • Why it’s important to understand the lineage of methodologies like SE & TRE
  • Why building capacity is so important, especially when working with early trauma
  • A quick breakdown of why so many people have success with my unique approach

HINT: What you learn via my online resources, classes, and programs will mean that you find yourself needing these kinds of external resources and management strategies less and less. 

Why?

Because I teach you how to build REAL regulation from the inside out (and from the outside in). 

And that’s a very different thing from just finding a new way to “calm down.”

Watch today’s video to learn more.
