Foundation programme
Understand your stress.
A structured introduction to what stress is doing in your body, how to recognise it earlier, and what you can do about it. Seven modules, taught plainly, with practice built in.
The aim
Not more information. A different relationship with it.
The aim: you understand more about what is happening, recognise it sooner, and have practical things to try.
That is what the programme is for. It is not about memorising the nervous system. It is about noticing your own patterns sooner, and having something practical to do when you do.
What it covers
Seven modules, four stages.
They follow the same four stages as everything else here. Choose a stage to see its modules.
What stress actually is
The stress response in plain language, and why it is there to protect you.
Your nervous system
The two sides of the system, and how the body switches between them.
Recognising your patterns
Where stress shows up in you: sleep, breath, attention, mood, behaviour.
State and physiology
What can be observed and measured, and what the numbers do and do not mean.
Regulation techniques
Breath, attention, sound and movement: practical ways to change your state.
Environment and behaviour
Work, sleep, food, screens and people, and how they keep the system switched on.
Building your personal practice
A short, realistic routine that is yours, and a way to keep it going.
Who it is for
People who know they are stressed, and want to understand why.
- You feel stress may be affecting your sleep, focus or mood
- You have tried the usual advice, and it has not stuck
- You would like the explanation from a doctor, without the jargon
- You want something practical you can keep doing afterwards
What it is not
- Not therapy, and not treatment for any condition
- No diagnosis, and no advice about medication
- No promised outcome. Nobody can honestly promise one
- If you are unwell, your GP comes first
