90-minute Nervous System Toolkit Coaching Session:

When life throws you into a period of uncertainty, treatment, or loss, your nervous system can get stuck on high alert—leaving you feeling anxious, flooded, exhausted, or unable to rest. This 90-minute virtual coaching session (not therapy) teaches you practical, science-backed tools to calm your body and mind during acute distress.

Led by a licensed trauma therapist (LCSW) and EMDR practitioner, you’ll leave with a personalized map of your nervous system and skills you can use anywhere—whether you’re facing a difficult procedure, a sleepless night, or an unexpected trigger.

What You’ll Learn & Practice

  • Your Nervous System, Decoded
  • Understand your unique stress patterns and learn to recognize early warning signs of dysregulation before you spiral.
  • Heart Rate Variability (HRV) Training A simple breathing technique that directly shifts your nervous system from alarm to rest. You’ll practice it live and receive a recording.

EMDR‑Inspired Resourcing (not full EMDR)

  • Safe/Calm Place – Create a mental refuge you can access in seconds. · Container Exercise – Temporarily set aside overwhelming worries so you can rest.
  • Nurturing & Protection Figures – Internal resources to feel accompanied and strong.

Gentle Flash Technique for a “Sticky” Memory

If one difficult moment keeps looping in your mind, we’ll use a safe and effective method to reduce its emotional charge—without deep trauma processing.
