We're working on three big things in this course, and each operates on its own timeline.
1. Downshift in the moment
Bring arousal down when stress spikes. These tools work in minutes—sometimes seconds. They're your first responders.
2. Tune in to your signals
Read your body's cues earlier. This develops more slowly, over weeks and months, as you build interoceptive awareness. This is the skill of noticing what's happening inside, at the somatic level.
3. Relate differently
Partner with your nervous system instead of fighting it. This is a long-term skill that changes your entire relationship with stress and difficult emotions.
Think of your nervous system like gears in a car. We need all the gears. Sometimes, though, we're revving too high for the moment. Over time, though, we're learning how to shift more easily into the gear that's needed right now.
