How the work is delivered
- Step 1
Map what's actually happening
The first sessions build a clear picture of the pattern — not just the symptoms, but the driver underneath.
- 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.
- Step 3
Bridge sessions with tools
You leave with practical tools so between-session weeks are worked, not wasted.
