Mini-Class

Next class TBD

WHAT IS A MINI-CLASS? This is a new kind of lecture-style class where we'll dive into a specific topic, provide nervous system-informed education, and also offer reminders to stay connected to self and the environment in the process. A short Q&A will take place towards the end of the class. There is no weekly commitment or monthly subscription required. If you can't make it live, you'll receive the recording after the class. 

NEXT LIVE CLASS TBD

In class, we break down an iconic scene from the movie, Good Will Hunting, and why it’s a perfect piece of cinema to showcase what it takes to heal the deep, toxic wounds of early and developmental trauma.

Titration is a concept that is originally from chemistry, but was popularized by Peter Levine, founder of Somatic Experiencing, to depict the importance of touching into the tiniest 'taste' of a human experience so that one does not get overwhelmed when healing stored trauma. While simple in theory, its practical application is vast and packs a positive punch for a new healing paradigm that's the opposite of exposure therapy and "no pain no gain" modalities.

This concept of 'titration' also applies to some of the most known and popular behavioural change remedies for enhancing aerobic capacity, improving physical strength, and working towards changing any habit so that it sticks.

Healing trauma and restoring nervous system regulation is no different.

Join Irene and Seth Lyon for this NEW mini-class to learn how this concept of titration is used in somatic trauma healing (and more!).

Toxic shame is a horrible experience of feeling worthless and unwanted, which usually starts when primary caregivers send messages that your true self is unacceptable. It can come from obvious trauma, but also from common, unconscious behaviors like parents being unable to handle a child's energy, or knowing how to accurately attune to them and support their authenticity.

This toxic shame often results in a feeling of collapse and loss of vitality, and the key to changing it is connecting to something we call, "Healthy Aggression." And the bridge between toxic shame and Healthy Aggression…. may surprise you!

Join Irene and Seth for this lecture-based class that will explain the physiology that comes along with being toxically shamed, and the steps one can take to start moving out of a state of fawning and collapse, and back towards authenticity and vitality.
