All humans have emotions, but sadly we don’t all possess the essential life skills to process our emotions and regulate our nervous system when emotions run high or spill over… triggering unhelpful behaviour, chronic stress, and limiting behaviours that keep us STUCK!

Take a deep dive into your emotional world and better navigate your nervous system states throughout this comprehensive, evidence-based, Polyvagal Theory and Trauma-Informed course.

Learn about the neurobiology of emotions and trauma, what ‘regulation’ truly means, and the evidence-based practices from a ‘top-down, bottom-up, outside-in’ brain framework to guide you in deeply supporting clients (and yourself) to integrate their thinking mind with their somatic wisdom. 

Learn the Skills to Build Emotional Resilience, Process Your Emotions, Self-Regulate, & Increase Mental, Physical & Emotional Wellbeing

Befriend Your Emotions, Understand Your Nervous System States, and Build Resilience to Trust Yourself.

Learn the neurobiology of how emotions are made and how trauma memory lives in the body. Gain insight into your unique neurodevelopment and the mental narratives underlying negative thoughts, behaviours, beliefs and reactive patterns.

Develop the personal skills to master the art of recognising and acknowledging your emotions, and attending to them as they arise with a variety of evidence-based tools, practices and exercises with the theoretical foundations to explain and utilise them o for yourself and your clients.

Gain the skills to create a safe and supportive space for healing, and learn to adapt your approach to meet the unique needs of yourself, and the people you go on to help.

Experience a HUGE selection of evidence-based emotional processing skills that help process and release emotional stress to calm your system, strengthen resilience and increase emotional agility.

You’ll learn simple tools to develop Interoception and cultivate your own ‘felt sense’ to embody physical sensations and explore your inner landscape for deeper sensory awareness.

You’ll learn to expand your emotional literacy and be introduced to a range of emotions that you may have forgotten exist – complete with a variety of top-down, bottom-up and outside-in tools and exercises to support better brain health.

Support yourself, clients and others in navigating the often complex landscape of your emotional, physical and energetic world with great understanding and deeper compassion.

Explore a range of cognitivesomatic and energy based practices to help individuals release emotional blockages and develop a greater window of tolerance to support resilience.

Emotions can be messy, painful, isolating and hard.. 

but they can also be beautiful, soothing, energising and easy.

Emotions can cause such a strong grip on our actions…

Are your emotional responses serving you, or are they unpredictable, out of proportion to the situation, and impacting your relationships or state of health?

What Does Emotional Processing actually mean?

Emotional regulation refers to our ability to understand, manage and respond to an emotional experience in a socially (and personally) acceptable manner. 

Emotional processing involves attending to emotional experiences, both positive and negative, in ways that are adaptive, healthy, and in line with our values and goals.

All humans have emotions, but sadly we don’t all possess the essential life skills to process our emotions and regulate our nervous systems when emotions run high or spill over!

Whether for professional development or personal growth or self-improvement, we can ALL benefit from learning healthy emotional processing skills to better support our nervous system health.

Learn how to facilitate deep self-awareness & embodied presence to experience emotions in the moment, without fear.

Emotional regulation is a critical life skill for maintaining mental health, forming healthy relationships, managing chronic stress, and achieving personal and professional success.

Mental Health Matters
Emotions are merely reflections of our true thoughts and feelings wanting to be acknowledged.
But without learning the essential skills to self-regulate as children and not be afraid of showing, sharing or feeling our feelings, we carry this inability to deal with our emotions into our adult lives and relationships.
We develop unhealthy coping behaviours to distract, avoid, numb out, suppress and escape the discomfort or thought of feeling our very real emotions…. 

Emotions impact our thinking, decision-making, actions, physical health, learning and memory, but we don't learn anything about them at school and often endlessly struggle to navigate them.

Until we learn how to effectively acknowledge, name, process and release emotions, along with any residual emotional energy and the outdated mental stories that influence them, we are often stuck and at the mercy of them.  Here’s why:

  1. Mental Health: Emotional regulation is key to preventing mental health disorders such as anxiety and depression. Looking after our mental ‘health’ allows us to maintain a healthy emotional balance, reducing the risk of developing mental health issues.
  2. Healthy Relationships: Good emotional regulation helps us to interact with others in a healthy and effective way. It aids in conflict resolution and promotes better understanding, patience, and empathy in relationships.
  3. Productivity and Success: Emotional regulation also plays a vital role in our professional lives. It helps us to stay focused, make rational decisions, and navigate challenges with composure.
  4. Learning how implicit memory keeps trauma patterns stuck in the body, helps us to become more in tune with our ‘felt sense’ and to work with the body in helping it to release chronic conditioning and regulate the system with greater resiliency for modern life.

Learn how to facilitate
deep self-awareness & embodied presence to experience emotions In the moment, without fear.
