- Step 2
Prepare for real life
The final phase rehearses the pattern under normal life stress, so results don't collapse the moment life gets busy. Paced around the Ashbourne realities: hospitality owners, farmers and Peak District professionals.
- Step 3
Bridge sessions with tools
You leave with practical tools so between-session weeks are worked, not wasted. In DE6 this is often shaped by seasonal business stress.
- Step 4
Start with regulation
Nothing is processed while your nervous system is dysregulated. Sessions begin with body-level tools that work the same day. For Ashbourne clients that usually means allowing for seasonal business stress.
