A 90-minute online workshop for people who feel tired, wired, overwhelmed or unable to switch off.
You may look like you are coping on the outside, while inside you feel exhausted, tense, emotionally overloaded or unable to properly rest.
This live online workshop is designed to help you understand how chronic stress can affect the nervous system, why rest does not always feel restorative, and how small, repeated practices can support more flexibility, steadiness and choice.

This workshop may be helpful if you:

- rest, but do not feel genuinely restored
- feel guilty when you are not being productive
- want practical tools that can fit into a busy life
You do not need to have a mental health diagnosis or be receiving psychological therapy to attend.
What you will learn
During the workshop, we will explore:
- how chronic stress can gradually affect the way you feel and function
- how nervous system overload may show up in everyday life
- why high-functioning people can miss the signs of depletion
- why rest alone may not always resolve ongoing exhaustion
- how repeated stress can affect energy, emotions and the ability to switch off
- how small, manageable practices may support greater awareness and flexibility
You will also be introduced to:
NES: Notice – Exhale – Soften A simple framework for noticing what is happening, allowing the exhale to slow, and softening unnecessary tension without pressuring yourself to feel calm.
Little Pockets of Regulation Brief, repeatable moments of awareness and regulation that can be incorporated into everyday life without becoming another task to complete perfectly.
What you will leave with
You will leave with:
- a clearer understanding of how chronic stress can affect your mind and body
- greater awareness of your own stress and nervous system patterns
- an introduction to NES: Notice – Exhale – Soften
- practical Little Pockets of Regulation that can fit into your day
- a simple framework you can continue practising after the workshop
- a realistic starting point for supporting greater flexibility and choice
Nervous system change does not usually depend on one significant breakthrough. It is often supported through small, repeated moments of awareness, regulation and repair.

- psychological education
- a brief guided regulation exercise
- practical reflection
- time for general questions
No personal sharing is required. You will not be asked to discuss personal trauma or disclose private information. You are welcome to participate with your camera on or off.
