Do you ever...
- Experience sudden-onset stress, panic, overwhelm, or exhaustion?
- Burst into tears (maybe when you’re alone, maybe in front of others)?
- Snap at people “for no reason”?
- Have big reactions to small inconveniences?
- Promise yourself you won’t over-react again… and then do it, anyway?
- Notice that you’re holding your breath, tightening your shoulders, chewing your lip, breathing fast, or clenching your jaw?
- Get headaches and/or stomachaches?
- Feel like it’s all just too much?
You’re not alone. Although these experiences are much more common in people now than they were just a few short years ago, they are not inevitable facts of life. Rather, they are products of an important and deeply misunderstood phenomenon: The Neuro-Crash. And this groundbreaking course will help you master them.
What Is A Neuro-Crash?
It’s what happens when your brain and nervous system get overwhelmed to the point where you are no longer able to regulate yourself.
The important thing to understand is that Neuro-Crashes are preventable.
Learning to understand and prevent Neuro-Crashes leads to you becoming a person who is…
- Mentally stronger
- More self-regulated and at ease
- Less anxious
- More even-tempered
- Better able to sleep
- More able to focus and concentrate
- Not easily agitated nor prone to Neuro-Crashes – and thus able to be the spouse, parent, friend, boss, and colleague you want to be.
There are six primary causes of Neuro-Crashes, and this course covers all of them – and how to deactivate them.
It’s like getting an owner’s manual for your brain, your mind, and your nervous system.
Divided into three parts – the three pillars of mastering your own Neuro-Crashes:
1. Neuro-Crash Navigator: Detecting – and Defusing – Your Hidden Signals Of Stress (S.O.S.)
2. Neuro-Crash Ceasefire: Setting Boundaries & Gaining Control
3. Neuro-Crash Mastery: Deactivating Distressing Thoughts on Repeat & Making Peace with Your Emotions
…the course gives you a new way to understand your brain and how it interacts with the world.
With well over fifty years of combined experience providing welcoming, nervous-system-friendly, heart-centered, and extremely practical support for sustainable mental and emotional well-being, Raun K. Kaufman and Kate C. Wilde will guide you through this process in a deeply caring and supportive way.
What Will You Learn?
In this solution-based course with both personal and interpersonal applications, you will learn to…
- Detect your hidden S.O.S. (Signals of Stress) right away so that you can implement strategies – called S.O.S. Circuit-Breakers – to circumvent Neuro-Crashes before they start.
- Maintain equilibrium within yourself so that you don’t feel on edge.
- Stop reacting in ways you don’t want or can’t understand.
- Get much more proactive about regulating yourself.
- Make friends with your nervous system instead of feeling like it’s working against you.
- Set and articulate impenetrable boundaries in a language that others can understand and digest… so that you’re neither saying “yes” to things you don’t want to do nor finding yourself in situations you don’t want to be in. (Almost everyone completely misunderstands what boundaries are – and, thus, they think they are setting boundaries when they are not.)
- Get out of the “have to” spiral – and shut down the pressure cooker that fires it up.
- Disarm the Four Horseman of the Neuro-pocalypse – the four types of repetitive thinking that cause mental, emotional, and physiological dysregulation.
- Tune into your emotions and reverse the process of emotion rejection, where we suppress, avoid, stifle, or ignore unpleasant emotions and seriously disrupt the brain and body’s ability to regulate and achieve homeostasis.
- Make peace with the specific aspects of your life (what others think, decisions your boss makes, how your significant other reacts to something, the political situation, the weather) that you cannot control – while actually feeling more in control. (Feeling like you – or your life – is out of control actually comes not from your life nor something you’re doing wrong but rather from a legitimate confusion about what is and isn’t within your control.)
- Make use of Rise Above questions: Very simple questions that connect the stressed, dysregulated, small-picture part of your brain to the mind’s’s deeper intelligence – the thoughtful, regulated, big-picture circuitry of your brain.
- Re-take control of the “meaning machine” in our brain so that we can re-target it in a direction that leads to mental and emotional well-being.
Complete with actionable intel, super clear explanations, very useful handouts, caring and open-hearted in-class interaction, and opportunities to begin implementation, this course will enable you to revamp your reactions, reconnect with your rhythms, and right the ship.
