Your Nervous System is Your Business Partner
While preparing my talk for the upcoming Career Summit, titled
“Building Your Career While Healing From Trauma,”
I paused on a sentence that kept echoing in my mind:
“Your nervous system is your business partner.”
It’s more than a concept—it’s the foundation for how we show up in work, in relationships, and especially in therapy rooms.
Because here’s the truth we don’t always say out loud:
You can have all the training.
You can care deeply.
And still—if your nervous system isn’t regulated, your clients will feel that.
Before you say a single word, they’re reading your breath.
Your posture.
Your tone.
Your nervous system.
“We’re neurobiologically wired to sense safety or threat in another human being—before they even speak.”
— Deb Dana

This is the kind of depth I’ll be speaking about during the summit—how trauma healing isn’t just internal work, it’s also career-shaping work.
Because for so many people, especially those navigating trauma recovery, choosing a career path or building a business isn’t just about skills.
It’s about regulating through fear, moving forward with intention, and building a life that feels safe enough to grow in.
Whether you're a therapist or someone supporting clients who are in transition, this summit offers real-world support, nuance, and hope.

Warmly,

P.S. We also have a few spots opening soon for the next Integrative Trauma Training & Consultation Program.
It’s for trauma-informed therapists ready to:
Embody the work they practice
Deepen confidence with somatic, attachment, and nervous system tools
Feel less alone in the complexity of this work
This is about mastery, depth, and a sustainable path forward.
