An Invaluable Resource for Personal Development

As a mother, nurse, and student nurse-midwife in my final year of a three-year program, I have discovered this program to be incredibly comprehensive for overall well-being, personal development, and growth. I will definitely recommend it to my patients and have already shared it with colleagues, friends, and family. The program feels authentic and heartfelt, reflecting the personal growth that the facilitators have achieved. I am grateful for the opportunity to explore this through the free two-month membership. Personally, this program has been immensely beneficial for my healing journey. The insights shared have been transformative for my self-awareness. For years, I struggled with a chronic need for achievement and oscillated between sympathetic and dorsal vagal states. My nervous system eventually shut down, causing intense panic and feelings of doom. I often needed support from my partner to care for our children during overwhelming moments. Despite spending thousands on medical consultations and treatments, I was mostly told I was just anxious and offered conventional medications, while alternative practitioners identified various conditions. Deep down, I sensed that something more profound was wrong. Understanding the sympathetic and parasympathetic states at this level has reshaped my perspectives and fostered self-awareness and compassion, allowing for shifts in my body's energy and patterns. While out of work, I also focused on addressing past trauma. I had been in therapy for years, but my experience with EMDR during my service in the military was left incomplete, contributing to my ongoing challenges. The trauma from my childhood lingered for nearly a decade until my body could no longer cope. Starting ART and IFS, combined with a clean diet and stress regulation through this program, has helped me achieve a sense of calm I haven't felt in a long time. Thank you for your dedication to healing and the evolution of our collective consciousness.

Unique and Transformative Program

This program is truly like no other! My nervous system has been on overdrive for the past five years (and likely longer) since my diagnosis. The response my body and mind have had in the several weeks I've been engaged with this program has been life-changing. I have explored other programs, but this one stands out with its slow, stepwise approach that allows you to move at your own pace. There are numerous avenues to meet individuals where they are with their overactive nervous systems, making this program exceptional. I will definitely recommend it to my patients. Thank you for all that you do from the bottom of my heart!

Abundant Knowledge for Healing

Having previously engaged in nervous system-based therapy, I sought additional insights to elevate my understanding. I discovered this program to be a treasure trove of information, and the teachings have shifted my perspective on healing and the nervous system. The amount of information provided in the accompanying materials is impressive, and I look forward to continuing my learning journey!

Concerns About Inclusivity and Misinformation

I joined this program hoping to address trauma and long-term health issues associated with chronic stress. I anticipated a neurodiversity-affirming environment but was instead confronted with dismissive comments from a representative regarding my neurodivergence. Their statements were factually incorrect and perpetuated stigma against neurodivergent individuals. After reaching out for resolution, I received no meaningful support or acknowledgment of the harm caused. This experience raises concerns about the program's commitment to creating a safe and inclusive space for all.

Valuable Content but Community Concerns

The program offers valuable content, especially in IFS and tools for presence and emotional awareness. However, I found the support groups to be concerning, as they comprised individuals, including myself, who were navigating their own dysfunctions. This dynamic felt triggering. Additionally, there is extra cost for groups led by mentors. I question the qualifications of the lead facilitator, as it seems they have profited significantly from the program. I recommend joining for the initial level, as the content is useful, but proceed with caution regarding group dynamics.

Not Effective for Me

This program did not work for me at all. I sought nervous system support during a challenging time with chronic illness, but instead, I encountered a blend of spiritual bypassing and superficial therapy. The program implies that chronic illness stems from trauma, which can feel invalidating to those with complex biomedical conditions. There was little acknowledgment of the nuances involved in such experiences. I felt pressured to 'fix' my mindset while my physical condition worsened. When I voiced my concerns, there was no accountability, only vague language about being 'stuck.' If you have real physical symptoms, please approach this program with caution, as it may cause more harm than healing.

Content is Good, but Representation Lacks

I was surprised to see that the majority of program teachers and mentors are Caucasian and white-presenting, with limited representation of BIPOC individuals. This gap can lead to feelings of unsafety for BIPOC participants in spaces where they are not adequately represented. However, the content is valuable, though it can be overwhelming. I believe the regulatory model would benefit from an integration series of Q&As to clarify questions and simplify practices for beginners. The incorporation of IFS and mindfulness into the program structure is commendable, and the somatic practices, especially live classes, are exceptional.

Concerns About Business Practices

As a provider of health programs for individuals facing serious illness, I found the business practices of this program questionable. They advertise sliding scale fees but required upfront payment without disclosing how discounts are determined. I expressed my concerns about this policy, but despite multiple requests, they insisted on payment first. This lack of transparency prevented me from participating in the program, and I caution others about their practices, which seem akin to bait and switch, especially in the context of chronic illness.

Wonderful Program for Nervous System Regulation

This program is absolutely lovely and teaches effective ways to calm the nervous system. It provides an overview of various methods that have helped others. After years of seeking help from various professionals, I finally found this program to be genuine and supportive. The monthly fee is reasonable, and there are numerous videos to watch at your convenience, along with opportunities for interaction with others on similar journeys. This program is not a gimmick; it focuses on teaching self-recovery from trauma by healing the autonomic nervous system. Highly recommend!
