Writings and Explorations for those that want to dive deep

Explore writings, excerpts, and tools to support your nervous system’s return to coherence. This page will be update as my mood and ponderings want to explore different topics. Here you’ll find reflections from my upcoming books, The Awakened Nervous System, along with insights on trauma, regulation, embodiment, and healing. As a life long nerd, I think its nice to keep things simple, but to also let those that want to understand more technical aspects of healing to find their needs met here. Enjoy!
