Module 1: Foundations of Nervous System Work - an introduction to inputs and outputs, the TREAD process - Test, Rewire, Evaluate, Advance, and Dose, constructing a daily practice of nervous system training. 

Module 2: Core Beliefs and the Nervous System - How mindset, beliefs, and goals are expressed through the nervous system, affecting goal setting and achievement. Introduction to setting up a baseline assessment of the somatics of mindset and goals in the body using the Green, Yellow, Red (GYR) light system of the Evaluate section of TREAD. 

Module 3: The Neurology of Overwhelm and Emotional Flashbacks- Define overwhelm and how it interferes with trust, creating safe, supportive environments, active listening, client engagement, coaching presence, creating awareness, attention, and achievement, designing and taking meaningful actions. Learn the neurology of the freeze response and dissociation, as well as practical neural exercises to resolve these reactions. 

Module 4: The Neurology of Behavior Change - Learn the physiology behavior change and the types of behavior responses (fight, flight, freeze, fawn, flop), as well as the embodied vs disembodied aspects of each. Learn to apply NSI drills to come into the present moment and create safety and support for behavior change and grounded responses. 

Module 5: The Neurology of Anxiety and Panic - Learn the neurology of situational anxiety and begin to identify how the body indicates it is moving toward a threat. Reframe responses as a mechanism for maintaining safety and learn how to use NSI tools to make mindset and emotional processing safe. Develop a toolkit for daily reduction of anxiety and increased resilience to stress and change. 

Module 6: The Neurology of Self-Sabotage and Self-Limiting Behaviors - Learn the science behind these responses as well as practical, body-based  techniques to overcome these behaviors and stop adverse responses before they start.

Module 7: The Psychoneurology of Fawn response, Codependency, and Boundaries - Learn the neurology of boundaries and techniques to create boundaries through creating internal integrity of somatic pathways. 

Module 8: The Neurology of Insomnia and Inability to Rest - Learn why deep work and change can trigger insomnia in clients. Develop tools to help clients overcome this response and to be able to rest and recover, even during times of stress, growth and change. 

Module 9: The Neurology of the Inner Critic  - Learn what is happening to trigger loops of negative self-talk and practical, evidence-based tools to interrupt this response. 

Module 10: The Neurology of Habit Change - Learn how nervous system dysregulation leads to addiction and obsession, preventing habit change and the realization of goals. Learn a body-based way of creating the regulation and stimulus needed to move out of unwanted behavior patterns and create lasting change. 

Module 11: The Neurology of Peace - Learn why it can be threatening and uncomfortable to move beyond chaos and stress. Use NSI tools to create and practice a new internal state in the body and a process for reeducating the body and nervous system to feel safe experiencing joy, peace, rest and relaxation. 

Module 12: The Neurology of Visibility and Fearless Presence - Learn a practical process and NSI tools to make visibility safe, to aid the body in relaxing while using your voice and speaking your truth.
