The approach in practice
- Step 1
Prepare for real life
The final phase rehearses the pattern under normal life stress, so results don't collapse the moment life gets busy.
- Step 2
Start with regulation
Nothing is processed while your nervous system is dysregulated. Sessions begin with body-level tools that work the same day.
- Step 3
Consolidate the change
Change has to hold beyond the session. Self-hypnosis, a short practice or a home task keeps it embedded.
- Step 4
Review and adjust
Every few sessions we step back and check the direction — nothing is done to you without your say-so.
