Chronic stress can make you feel exhausted, irritable, worried, and even sick.
But it's not you; it's your fight/flight/freeze response that's stuck in the ON position.
In this course I'll teach you how to turn off stress and turn on calm.
These are foundational skills from evidence-based treatment including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Somatic Therapy.
In this course you'll learn:
- How your stress response works
- How to turn on the calming part of your nervous system (the parasympathetic response)
- Over 20 easy activities to turn on calm
- Essential skills for managing stress, anxiety, PTSD, and panic attacks

Here is what students are saying:

I’ve struggled with anxiety for about 20 years and can honestly say I’m learning much more with you in the last few weeks than I have in those 20 years! Everything you say makes so much sense and it’s the techniques for calming the body down when you’re anxious is what really makes a difference. Through listening to you, I’ve learned that my body can calm me down when my thoughts can’t!

I am loving this course. My complaint with a lot of the trainings/webinars out there is that they don't SHOW you how to get better. With this training, I feel like I'm getting a teacher, but also a coach to model what these exercises look like. Thank you so much.Â

Hi, I'm Emma McAdam
I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, and my absolute favorite thing is seeing that moment when something clicks, when an old belief gets replaced by something more helpful, when a new skill frees someone from years of depression or anxiety. I love helping people transform their lives.
Â
I've been working in the field of Mental Health for over 20 years, in a bunch of beautiful settings like juvenile corrections, schools, wilderness therapy, treatment centers and private practice.
Â
As a therapist I've come to see how SO many people are suffering simply because they don't know about the skills that will help them. And good therapy can be really hard to access- therapy is freaking expensive, and it can be hard to find a great therapist, and even if you're in therapy, we want to save those precious office hours for in-person interventions, but learning those crucial skills is something we can supplement between sessions. As a therapist, I wished there were simple, clear videos teaching the skills that make a huge difference, but I couldn't find them anywhere. So, I decided to make them myself.
Â
For decades I had seen how these skills have helped hundreds of people, but I'm completely blown (surprised that a nerdy, sensitive(HSP) introvert like me) away to see them reach hundreds of millions of people through the internet.
Â
I take a solution-focused approach to help people find purpose, and joy, using techniques from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Somatic Therapy, Family Systems Theory, and the Arbinger Institute.
In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my family, exploring the outdoors, and learning new things.
