The approach in practice
- Step 1
Bridge sessions with tools
You leave with practical tools so between-session weeks are worked, not wasted.
- Step 2
Consolidate the change
Change has to hold beyond the session. Self-hypnosis, a short practice or a home task keeps it embedded.
- Step 3
Start with regulation
Nothing is processed while your nervous system is dysregulated. Sessions begin with body-level tools that work the same day.
