"A lifetime of countless random acts wired your neurons into their present formation which gives you your current self. A handful of intentional acts can rewire your neurons into a new formation to give you a novel self of your own design"

- Karden Rabin

Neuroplasticity is the ability of neural networks in the brain to change through growth and reorganization. In other words, the synaptic connections in your brain that determine everything from your personality to how you brush your teeth are changeable. The connections are "plastic" (i.e malleable), not fixed like a circuit board.

Your stress response is determined by past events that wired sequences of neurons in your brain in how to respond. This wiring is not "hard" wired, its "soft" wired and can be changed. Stress School harnesses the science of neuroplasticity to rewire your neurons so they respond much better to stressful stimuli.

Wouldn't it be nice to upgrade your neural operating system?

"The Body Keeps the Score."

Somatics is a field of study within bodywork, movement and psychology which emphasizes internal physical perception and experience. The distinction between the mind and body is a human abstraction, not a biological reality. In fact, you would be unaware of your stress without your body because it is your body that experiences stress, not your brain.

Stress School recognizes the critical role that the body plays in both the perpetuation and management of stress. By working directly with the body, we give our students a whole new way to transform their stress response from the bottom up, not just the top down.

Oh, I should also mention that it feels awesome too : )

Life Hacking are tricks, shortcuts, skills, technology or novelty method that increases productivity and efficiency in all walks of life. Since the modern world is crazy and endlessly demanding on our time, we must remodel our outer world as much as we are remodeling our inner world.

To do this, we must learn how to do more in less time and to not use the saved time to do more, but to do less!

Stress School trains students in the best of the best Life Hacking skills that lower stress, increase productivity and gives you more time to live and be, rather than work and do.

As we like to say, you are a human being, not a human doing.

Coaching is so much more than teaching, it is the act of supporting, inspiring, and holding students accountable to the goal they have set out to accomplish.

At Stress School, we know that all the knowledge in the world means jack squat if the learner is not inspired, supported, and encouraged to be accountable for the transformation of stress that they say they want.

For that reason, we employ the best practices of coaching to create a structure, process, and community that helps you be successful in becoming a Stress Whisperer.

You are not in this alone 🤝

"Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate."

- Carl Jung

Total awareness is learning how to become aware of, well, everything. It's becoming aware of the events in your daily life that trigger your stress response, it's becoming aware of thoughts and emotions, it's becoming aware of how your body feels as compared to how your mind thinks, it's becoming aware of the animal, child and adult that make up who you are.

You can't change what you can't measure, in other words, if you aren't aware of it, you can't transform it. Most of us have limited self-awareness (yea, even you, trust me). Stress School teaches students how to become Totally Aware so that they can direct their life instead of react to it.

As your Total Awareness becomes more and more sensitive, you will be able to quickly identify and defuse stressful responses as well as become present and capable of generating peaceful, pleasurable, and satisfying states of being.

Who wouldn't want that?
