This is a self-guided coaching tool, not therapy. Using this tool does not create a therapeutic relationship.

Step 2 of 3 — Parts
Which part is running the show?
These are your nervous system's survival responses dressed in everyday behavior. Pick the one that fits right now.
Fight
The Manager
Constantly planning, controlling, anticipating what could go wrong. If you can just keep all the pieces in place, nothing will fall apart.
Flight
The Driver
Pushing harder, moving faster, hustling through the exhaustion. Rest feels dangerous, like something bad will happen if you stop.
Freeze
The Shutdown
Going blank, unable to start, paralyzed by too much at once. You know what needs doing. Your body just won't move.
Fawn
The Appeaser
Saying yes to everyone, shrinking your own needs, making yourself small. If everyone else is okay, maybe you'll finally feel safe.
Step 3 of 3 — Breath
Your personalized breath practice
Based on where you're holding it and what's driving it, here's your reset.

Reflection
