That feeling when you’ve spent 3 months staring at the ceiling.

10 years ago, I wondered if I would ever get out of bed again. I’d been flat on my back for 3 months. I didn't know what was wrong. I just wasn’t… functioning. I would feel like a wet dish rag and then suddenly be panicking, going from 0 to 60 in a split second, thoughts racing, heart pounding, face going numb.

I’d lost count of how many things I'd tried. I had a cabinet full of expensive supplements, I’d done energy work and somatic therapy and psychotherapy and physical therapy...

The last straw was when I ended up on a table in a small back office with a guy who looked like he’d just left a skate park. He spent 30 minutes poking my scalp and muttering over my brain with some kind of new age incantation meant to free me from limiting beliefs.

Look, I’m all about letting go of negative energy, and bless his heart, I’m sure he felt like he was doing the Lord’s work but… no. Walking out of his office onto a dingy backlot, I had a dawning realization:

No one else is going to fix me.

I had seen so many people - and they weren’t all like skate park guy. Many of them had a wall full of degrees and decades of experience. They knew a whole lot and cared a whole lot.

But sometimes, we can feel so desperate and so broken and so scared and confused that we show up at their door ready to lay it all down at their feet, ready for them to fix us, ready for them to work their magic.

And just in that approach, we’re already setting ourselves up for failure. We're starting off in a state of helplessness and dependency that sends us deeper into the problem, not the solution

So I realized - I need to get into the drivers seat here. I need to start inhabiting the solution

Well, it took me a lot of ups and downs, a lot of dead ends - but I did it. No more panic attacks. Waking up with easy energy. Present and relaxed.

And it wasn't magic. It was the application of tried and true principles to shift my nervous system out of survival mode. It took me 10 years of trial and error, but now, I can help you make a major shift in just 60 days and get back into the drivers seat of your life.
