A Pre-Trauma Therapy Program
A free, self-paced course to equip you with the tools for safety and stability. Designed for therapy clients, but open to everyone who needs grounding
Self-paced • 100% Free • 3 Modules
Prepare for the Journey
Starting therapy can feel overwhelming. This course was designed for my clients to provide a soft landing place before the deep work begins—but you don't need to be a client to benefit.
There is no obligation. This is simply an option for anyone who wants to make sure they have the right tools to ground themselves. By understanding how your nervous system works and identifying your basic triggers, you reclaim a sense of agency.
These three modules offer the evidence-based "first steps" of trauma recovery: understanding your biology, learning regulation tools, and building a safety plan.

Why Safety & Stability Come First
Before anyone begins deeper trauma work, the nervous system needs a foundation of safety. Without it, trauma processing can feel overwhelming, destabilizing, or even retraumatizing. Our bodies are designed to protect us, and when there isn’t enough internal or relational safety, the nervous system shifts into survival states that make healing incredibly difficult.
Understanding the window of tolerance and the basic principles of polyvagal theory helps you recognize when your body is in a regulated versus dysregulated state. When we are outside of that window, emotional overwhelm, shutdown, or reactivity can take over — not because we’re “failing,” but because the body is trying to keep us safe.
This program teaches you how to recognize those states and gently guide yourself back to regulation. By building stability first, you create the internal and relational safety needed for trauma work to feel grounding rather than threatening.
