The Healing Trauma Program - Navigating Anxiety

Navigating Anxiety

Insights and Practices to Heal Your Nervous System and Restore Emotional Well-Being

Featuring Jeffrey Rutstein, PsyD

$97

It’s no surprise to hear that anxiety is on the rise. Studies from the American Psychiatric Association indicate that over 40 percent of US adults feel more anxious than they did a year ago. If you’re among these many millions of people, you’re already aware of the external sources of stress we face, such as current events or insecurities around work. But did you know that anxiety starts on the inside, based on one’s particular nervous system and the way we’ve navigated the trauma of our past? With Navigating Anxiety, join trauma therapist Dr. Jeffrey Rutstein for a training in a compassionate and nonjudgmental approach to working with the inner symptoms of anxiety, nervous system dysregulation, and the epidemic sense of overwhelm in today’s times.

“Anxiety is hard enough to deal with and manage. It becomes even more challenging when we blame ourselves for our anxious reactions. In this workshop, we’re going to show you ways you can intervene with your anxiety and also free yourself from viewing your anxiety, fear, and worry as your fault."

—Jeffrey Rutstein, PsyD

Teachings and Tools to Free Yourself from Chronic Anxiety

Explore trauma-informed teachings and tools to ease the struggle with anxiety and return to safety in your body. Dr. Rutstein will share a practical understanding of the human nervous system, how anxiety and dysregulation are a universal response to anticipated danger, and accessible ways to work with nervous system activation by applying the breakthrough insights of Polyvagal Theory.

In this experiential, exercise-based workshop, you’ll discover:

A more empowering outlook on how we respond to stress—not as something "wrong with us" but as a survival instinct we can partner with to expand our "window of tolerance" in challenging situations

How to tap into the inherent strengths and capacities we all possess to shift out of anxiety and dysregulation—such as our natural resiliency, curiosity, and self-compassion

Somatic (or body-based) meditations, breathwork, and other simple techniques you can use on the spot to overcome habitual reactivity or unconscious behaviors that no longer serve you
