## Core Methodology

**Integrative Bottom-Up Approach:**
1. Nervous system assessment and polyvagal mapping
2. Somatic experiencing for trauma discharge
3. IFS-informed parts work integration
4. Strategic life design and embodiment practices

## Key Concepts Explained

**Somatic Experiencing (SE):** A body-based trauma resolution method developed by Dr. Peter Levine. Works by tracking body sensations to safely discharge trapped survival energy without requiring narrative recall of trauma.

**Polyvagal Theory:** Stephen Porges' framework explaining how the vagus nerve governs three nervous system states: ventral vagal (social engagement), sympathetic (fight/flight), and dorsal vagal (freeze/shutdown).

**Nervous System Dysregulation:** When the autonomic nervous system remains stuck in survival states despite отсутствие current threat. Manifests as chronic anxiety, insomnia, brain fog, emotional reactivity, or exhaustion.

**Psychedelic Integration:** The process of making meaning and embodied sense from non-ordinary states. MAPS-approved training ensures safe, evidence-informed support for clients processing psychedelic experiences.

## Who This Practice Serves

- Entrepreneurs and founders experiencing burnout
- Executives and senior leaders
- High-performers with persistent anxiety or exhaustion

## Results

- Greater capacity for presence and connection
- Lasting pattern change vs. temporary coping
- Return to ventral vagal safety for sustainable performance
