With well over 60 years of combined experience providing welcoming, nervous-system-aligned, heart-centered, extremely practical support for sustainable mental and emotional wellbeing and resilience, Raun K. Kaufman and Kate C. Wilde have enabled people like you to...

Get much better at understanding and regulating your own brain and nervous system
Gain accessible calmness and ease
Become much better at coping
Experience sharply boosted levels of clarity regarding how you feel, what you want, and what feels right for you
Maintain elevated resilience and resourcefulness
Strengthen Your Boundaries
Strengthen communication skills
Improve relationships with the people that matter most to you – significant others, children, family members, friends, and colleagues

We have a comprehensive approach built upon:

Detecting hidden Signals of Stress (S.O.S.) by strengthening your interoception (the brain’s ability to decipher signals from the body/the mind’s ability to decipher signals from the nervous system)
Relocating your sense of safety from outside of you to a specific place within you
The 4 Quadrants of Resilience: Neuro-State, Emotions, Style of Thinking, and Style of Relating
Learning the self-regulation processes that are necessary to regain homeostasis
Changing your understanding of control so that you feel much more in control
Setting Boundaries (which almost no one really understands)
Shifting your thinking style to free yourself from the four types of repetitive thinking that cause mental, emotional, and physical dysregulation
Truly tuning into emotions that you might be used to suppressing or ignoring
Rise Above questions designed to promote resilience in the face of challenge

We can’t be strong when we use our brains wrong.

WHAT IS A NEURO-CRASH?

It’s what happens when your brain and nervous system get overwhelmed to the point where you are no longer able to regulate yourself.

Neuro-Crashes are much more common in people now than they were just a few short years ago. How do you know if you’re having them?

Do you ever...

Experience sudden-onset stress, panic, overwhelm, or exhaustion?
Burst into tears (maybe when you’re alone, maybe in front of others)?
Snap at people “for no reason”?
Have big reactions to small inconveniences?
Promise yourself you won’t over-react again… and then do it, anyway?
Notice that you’re holding your breath, tightening your shoulders, chewing your lip, breathing fast, or clenching your jaw
Get headaches and/or stomachaches?
Feel like it’s all just too much?

The important thing to understand
is that Neuro-Crashes are preventable.

Learning to understand and prevent Neuro-Crashes leads to you becoming a person who is…

Mentally stronger
More self-regulated and at ease
Less anxious
More even-tempered
Better able to sleep
More able to focus and concentrate
Not easily agitated nor prone to Neuro-Crashes – and thus able to be the spouse, parent, friend, boss, and colleague you want to be
